The whole concept of deployment descriptors came up for seperating the code from the deployment details. You use CMP's so that the mappings to the underlying schema and SQL's for the finders are taken out of the code.

Doesn't XDoclet defeat this basic purpose itself?

The idea of vendor specific deployment descriptors is not a basic idea of java and j2ee: build once, run everywhere.

Well, I look at XDoclet as a development tool. As of now, it is capable of generating home/remote interfaces, as well as deployment descriptor files, to make life simpler for you. The descriptor files are still available for modification.

Xdoclet is just a code generation tool mate, it simplies your life in that you only have to write you business logic into you Bean , tag out what you want and it generates all your deployment descriptors, Local,Remote interafaces for you.

If what you are asking for is to come true , you should address yourself to EJB container developpers of JBoss , Websphere, Orale9AS, etc.. It is these folks that implemented the idea of deployment descriptors to capture mappings of files and objects in the first place
