Java XML conf é uma merda

O que normalmente seria expresso como

'/*' => net.liftweb.http.LiftFilter

… ou algo assim, no Lift é:

<!DOCTYPE web-app SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<filter>
<filter-name>LiftFilter</filter-name>
<display-name>Lift Filter</display-name>
<description>The Filter that intercepts Lift calls</description>
<filter-class>net.liftweb.http.LiftFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>LiftFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>

…SURPREENDENTE!
