Nothing to do with POJO vs EJB, or acronyms at all. To get very specific, we needed some code that called into an API and returned a list of strings. Ultimately it took exactly 5 lines of code in a method. But to solve the problem, multiple classes were created that inherited from no fewer than 5 other classes and interfaces that had nothing at all to do with the problem at hand.

What is it with Java programmers? It's like they don't know how to make things simple.
If they did, they'd be programming in Python or Ruby, or something.

Xould you be more specific? I mean clean POJO can be OK.
I agree that current trends are towards over engineered, diseperate, acronyms... ...but anyone and anything can fall in that category. I can contend that a 5,000 line kornshell script is ridiculous, but it is not the fault of the tool, rather the implementor/architect (or lack there of...).
