[infinispan-dev] Infinispan configuration

Sure, just like it is now. Of course you don't even need Dom. The  
advantage of jaxb is that it will keep the parsing logic and schema in  
synch. Manual approaches tend to be a bit more brittle and limited,  
just like the current approach. Unless of course you take the time to  
do it right, but that is no small task.
