This paper explores the evolution of configuration data usage in code. The example taken is of Java/J2EE Platform, where in the early 2000s, the configuration data was used to be stored in files, and with the upgrades of Java, new features, like annotations, were introduced to store configuration data in the code. This paper also discusses the merits and pitfalls of approaches, configuration data in file and configuration data in code.
