Not that I am an expert, nor is this the Command Chain a major issue for me,It's different from LISP in one important respect, though ... no parentheses :-).
but logic in configuration files (xml) is like writing LISP. For some it is
a rare beauty, for others it foggy at best.
More seriously, it's different in a more important respect as well. Configuration via XML files is *optional* -- you are completely free to assemble your commands and chains in any way that you wish. You can even compile the sources for the chain package where you don't have commons-digester (the code used to parse the XML config files) available, and the build will obediently skip creating the config classes. Yet the base functionality of chain is still available.
