Why? Because everybody is very familiar with them. Why? because its simple and easy to maintain and modify. Yes, the XML parsing needs to be moved to a separate module, but the classes themselves have held up fine. I will not allow you to add anything overly complex like the mess you did with datasources. David, you have never ever built a piece of software for JBoss that was even remotely intuitive to configure. Configuration is not your strength so please STAY AWAY from it. I'm warning you. If I see an XSLT translation anywhere within EJB land I will roll it back. Guys guys! These are configuration files! We're doing something seriously wrong here if we're doing XSLT transformations and jumping through hoops just to configure a bit of metadata. The implementation of configuration needs to be simple enough so that the casual JBoss contributor can easily add his/her little configuration tweak. All you're doing by adding all these configuration abstractions is putting up barriers for new developers.
