Deprecated classes

Hello,
I've just downloaded the jsf-examples and modified the build.xml to play with helloDuke a little.
I'm able to compile and run, but I get several warnings, 3 reasons:
FormEvent in javax.faces.event has been deprecated
CommandEvent in javax.faces.event has been deprecated
ApplicationHandler in javax.faces.lifecycle has been deprecated
Does anyone know what replaced these? Or what should we use instead?
thanks!
Denise

Hi,
I also got these depreceted method/class warnings.
� think these messages are coming because this release is a Early Access release. So I think RI designer put these warnings to warn the
users of EA3. Otherwise, developers can continue to use EA without noticing that a stable version released.

DOM parsing from memory avoid deprecated class usage

I am parsing an xml file from memory stored in a StringBuffer xmlBuffer like this
try {
               DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
               InputStream is = new StringBufferInputStream(xmlBuffer.toString());
               Document doc = db.parse(is);How can i avoid using of that deprecated class?

Why are you storing the file in memory in a StringBuffer? You could use this method directly:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilder.html#parse(java.io.File)]
or from a URI:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilder.html#parse(java.lang.String)]
StringBufferInputStream is deprecated because it does not properly convert characters into bytes.

Weblogic User class extends deprecated class?

weblogic.security.acl.User extends java.security.Identity which is a
deprecated class for Java 1.2
I checked the 5.1 API docs, this class still extends the
java.security.Identity. Are there any plans to update this class or if there
is another class we should use instead of weblogic.security.acl.User ?
Srikanth Meenakshi

s> weblogic.security.acl.User extends java.security.Identity which is
s> a deprecated class for Java 1.2
This is not a problem. It's okay to use it.

Deprecated Class

I am attempting to 'import com.borland.jbcl.layout' but java now doesn't recgonise this statement. I am trying to use the XYLayout method, but without the correct libarie it won't work. So does anybody know what it's been updated with?
Any help would be great.:)

That is a Borland-specific LayoutManager, so you'd need the Borland-specific library to implement it. This is the trap you can get into when using IDE's to design GUIs: they suddenly "stop working" when you're not in the IDE...

How do I find out if a class file has deprecated functions

Currently I'm having problems with a old Visual Cafe class.
It is definately using deprecated awt funcions.
My question is..
1) Without the source code how do I find out what deprecated functions the CLASS file is using.
2) Has any deprecated class been truly scrapped ? If so, I cannot find
it in the JDK API documentation or the java.sun.com search engine..

Here is what I did, to answer your question. I unzipped the symantec jar and used a decompiler (JAD works fine, or cavaj) to create an entire src tree (you can do this with 1 command). Then, compile using your target version of Java. There are well over 100 warnings (with -deprecation on) ranging from Cafe's use of awt.Component methods (mostly), Thread.suspend in their Timer class, to the use of java.util.Date in their Calendar component.
Cheers!

Provide Multi Language Content in Knowledge Management // Class deprecated

Hello,
I tried to implement the blog "Provide Multi Language Content in Knowledgle Management" by Thomas Kuri (BridingIT).
I have problems to import the the following class:
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.usermanagement.IUserManagementService;
I always get the warning "The type IUserManagementService" is deprecated. I use the following jar file for that:
j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.portal.usermanagement\lib\com.sap.portal.usermanagementapi.jar
Is that the wrong jar file? Or am I doing something else wrong?
Thanks for your help!!
Kirsten

Hi,
she's trying to implement the code example from this article:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/207ba610-08ac-2b10-1787-fc477da4b5bf
In this article, the deprecated class is used. Why? The code obviously is not written for EP7, but for EP6 with EP5 support. In the function: getEP5User is used to retrieve the EP5 user.
If you're not too experienced or just want to try something / PoC it's OK to just copy & paste some sample code. For using this code in an EP7 portal I would recommend to adapt the code.

Tobias

Deprecated methods/classes

Does anyone know if, for the SUN Certified Web Component Developer exam, you are tested on the deprecated classes and methods e.g. HttpSession.putValue(), HttpSession.getValue() etc?

No they are not in the test

Can anyone help explain? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

A method or (in this case it seems) a class being deprecated is nothing to worry about. All it means is that it is strongly advised that you not use this method/class because they have made something better to use. It also means that support for the method/class is no longer available from the makers and that they will soon be discontinuing the method/class.
In the case of the Morph class, you can still use it, but it may not be there in the next version or two. If you want to stop those compile warnings, then you can stick this somewhere (before the method that uses the Morph, I think):
@SuppressWarnings("unused")Using that will Suppress further Warnings of any "unused" (read "no longer supported/deprecated") classes or methods. And in your next program, see if you can find a replacement for the Morph class.

Warning: [deprecation] getRealPath in ServletRequest has been deprecated

I have extended class HttpServletRequestWrapper for custom implementation I have neither overriden the method getRealPath(java.lang.String) nor has this method been used/accessed anywhere. I still get following warning
[javac] /home/pangav1/dev/upgrade/webapps/common/src/minimed/ddms/webapp/common/filter/LocaleFilter.java:222: warning: [deprecation] getRealPath(java.lang.String) in javax.servlet.ServletRequest has been deprecated
[javac] public static class HttpRequest extends HttpServletRequestWrapper {
[javac] ^
Can anyone tell me the reason why compiler shows the warning message?

It should certainly not be ignored, especially if you don't understand the reason of deprecation and don't know the alternatives, which is the case of the topicstarter. In any case of deprecated classes/methods, the reasoning of deprecation and any alternatives should already be described in the API docs.
[Here is the API doc of ServletRequest#getRealPath()|http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)]

Bogus "deprecated" warnings

Hi,
I wrote a class that extends HttpServerResponseWrapper and now I am getting these bogus deprecation warnings:
warning: [deprecation] setStatus(int,java.lang.String) in javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse has been deprecated
class CacheResponseWrapper extends HttpServletResponseWrapper
Thing is, I am not overriding or invoking setStatus() at all so what gives? Is this a bug in the javac compiler?
Gili

Its not a bug. When implementing an interface, you get this warning if you don't declare the implementation of any deprecated methods declared in the interface as being deprecated in the implementation. HttpServletResponseWrapper doesn't declare its implementation of setStatus(int, String) as deprecated, so this is why you are seeing the warning. If you override the method and mark it as deprecated in your class, the warning will dissappear.

Deprecated log level constants

Hi,
In my DB class I have the following:
sssn.setLogLevel(DefaultSessionLog.FINE);
where sssn is a Server session. In Eclipse I'm getting the warning:
The field SessionLog.FINE is deprecated
I can see in the javadoc that that is the case but as far as I can tell there are no other constants defined and I should just use int:s to avoid the warnings.
I'm reluctant to do that since that is not as descriptive as the constant and what if the int:s representinh the desired level change in a future relase?
Am I missin something here or did Oracle miss something when they deprecated the level constants and not just the methods of the class?
Regards,
Andrei

Andrei,
We did miss something here. When SessionLog (oracle.toplink.sessions) was deprecated and the new SessionLog (oracle.toplink.logging) was introduced we ensured backwards compatibility through inheritance.
I have also seen the issue within JDeveloper when I use SessionLog (oracle.toplink.logging) statics. The warning shows in the code editor but I do not get any compiler warning for the deprecation.
The issue is that in this case we did not replicate the statics to the non-deprecated classes. This issue has been logged and will be addressed in a future release.

Deprecation with wlwBuild ant task?

<pre>Dear All,
How can I turn on deprecation for the ant task wlwBuild for Workshop applications?
I have tried the attribute deprecation="on" for wlwBuild, but it did not work.
Thanks a lot!
George</pre>

Well, I wish to find out all the deprecated classes and methods used in code, during compilation time.
The ant task javac has the attribute deprecation which accomplishes the task.
Similarly, is there anything in the ant task wlwBuild?
Thanks a lot!
George

Replacement for deprecated StringBufferInputStream

I'm working on something where I need to compare sets of String name/value pairs. Some of the name/value pairs are in a String in java.util.Properties format.
My approach has been to use
aPropertiesObject.load(new StringBufferInputStream(the_string_with_nvps));to put the String's name/value pairs into a Properties object, and then compare that Properties object with another one that should have the same name/value pairs.
Unfortunately, StringBufferInputStream is deprecated. I can't find a suitable replacement. The API suggests StringReader, but I don't see how I can use that to load values into a Properties object.
It looks like my choices are to use a deprecated class, or have to deal with parsing the string myself, which I'd prefer to avoid.
Is there a way to automatically parse the string into a set of name/value pairs without relying on deprecated classes?

That is my problem too.
Does anyone know how I can avoid using the deprecated StringBufferInputStream?

How I make deprecated method in JB4

Hi, i make deprecated method like this:
* @deprecated
public String fillCharsToLimit(String value, int limit, char chr, boolean fromFirst) {
value = value.trim();
if (value == null || (value.length() == 0 && limit <= 0))
;//do st
(in project properties i enable Show deprecations)
I except that compiler say me warning.
Its ignore deprecation in my code, but when I use deprecated method from JDK all is OK, only my method no why?
Thanks DK

You don't get a deprecation warning if the deprecated class or method and the code that uses the deprecated class or method are compiled at the same time. See Bug 4216683 http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4216683.html for details.
