Simon Brown: I must admit that while XDoclet is very useful when building EJBs, I'm not sold on the idea of using for the web tier myself.

Like Matt and Erik, who both left comments on Simon's weblog, I'm sold on XDoclet for the web tier, for generating struts-config.xml, validation.xml, web.xml, form beans, etc.

Monologue aggregates weblog entries from Mono bloggers, all 10 of them. That is a nice start.
