... IOC container

Bill Burke (commenting on TheServerSide.com): Currently plain Java is my favorite IoC container. Nothing beats the simplicity of constructor and getter/setter methods. I'm so sick of seeing the guts of applications exposed through ugly XML or writing a billion annotations just to get access to a simple component. Its all ridiculous, bloated, and most of the time unnecessary. Anybody else fed up?

I know a lot of people what has sentiments like Bill's. I can just hear them say:

• My favorite OR mapping tool is JDBC
• My favorite quote-and-quote application server is the Java process
• My favorite logging solution is java.logging API
• My favorite application modeling tool are Java interfaces
• My favorite web application framework is none of the usual candidates
• My favorite JVM language is Java

And, yes, Bill, we are all fed up with writing stupid XML files!
