Disappointed with the Spring Security Example Tutorial

because it doesn't use annotations at all (e.g. the ListAccounts controller). Now I understand why people said that Spring is xml hell and then Spring guys/fanboys always say thay there are annotations for most cases but in fact they don't use annotations in their tutorials. I wonder if they like the xml hell or they want to keep beginners in their xml hell.

It does. Look more closely. (Hint: security annotations are best used at the service layer).
