Aaron, Configuration is generally pretty static and XML just provides a better way of adding structure. However, performance can be very good. It all depends on your priorities. A couple of lines of Java code with JDOM can build a configuration object that runs anywhere with little change because it can rely on APIS that are part of any 1.4+ JDK. If performance is a priority, I might opt for a configuration object that implements a SAX interface, for example to configure how an individual email is sent. This last case wouldn't be as simple and requires setting environment variables to identify the SAX implementation.

I have been using xml config files for other packages for some time (i.e. Tomcat) but haven't built it into any of my home grown programming. Are these performance efficient enough being that you have to parse the data? How often do you parse the config? Once per HTTPSession/AS400 job? Aaron Bartell
