This sounds exactly like the use case JEE was intended for.
Well yes, I remember early days writing EJB deployment descriptors by
hand. What a hideous nightmare that was.
They could be generate by IDE's.
Hmm, we are talking Weblogic version '3.something or other' here, around
1998 I seem to remember. Eclipse didn't exist, we had IBMs Visual Age
for Java but that was ... truly awful and it certainly didn't have the
ability to generate EJB Deployment descriptors. These were the days when
you had to implement Entity Bean primary keys by hand
Or they could be generated by xdoclet.
Well the earliest reference I can find to xdoclet is 2002 so we probably
didn't have that option.
XML deployment descriptors did not exist in WL 3.x.
They were added in EJB 1.1 released December 1999.
Anyway, I think most early adopters of EJB
would agree that developing EJBs and keeping track of all the files
involved was a frustrating experience.
No - I don't think so.
All the ASP classic developers, PHP 4 developers and students
that spent a week looking at it probably found the descriptors
and interfaces very painful.
For those actually developing J2EE app back then it was an
insignificant part of the work.
