I just read a couple interesting articles over at Wheeler Software. I'm sure Matt has already read them but for the rest of us:
http://wheelersoftware.com/articles/spring-autowiring-annotations-3.html Spring Autowiring http://wheelersoftware.com/articles/spring-mvc-annotations.html Spring MVC Annotations They both basically talk about how using Spring 2.5 you can essentially get rid of (or at least reduce substantially ...) those bloated XML config files, applicationContext.xml and dispatcher-servlet.xml, and instead use Annotations. Convention over configuration, yada yada. Since Appfuse 2 already uses Spring 2.5, I imagine it would be a good idea, if you are starting a new project, to use Annotations instead of config files. It comes a little late for me, my current project is way too big for me to change all my beans and controllers. But going forward I think it's pretty neat. What does everyone else think? Should the tutorials be changed to use Spring 2.5 and Annotations?
