On one side, Java EE 5 "removed" all XMLs (DDs) and used annotation to save users to maintain a separate "information" file and swich editor. And on the other side, they are promoting JSF which requires huge XML file even for a small hello world application.

Somehow I think, JSF is certainly complex though I have no working experience of it.

What's say?

That's exactly why many people are using Seam, as it does the same thing for JSF that JEE5 did for EJBs--eliminate the configuration files in favor of sensible defaults that may be overridden by annotations and/or xml.

When you see how Hibernate and JPA eliminated the bulky deployment descriptors you'd see in typical J2EE applications, you can't help but think that the future of JSF will be in that direction.
