Deprecated methods in ABAP OO

Hello,
How can I mark a method in my own classes as deprecated? Is there a framework which supports this?
Kind Regards
Koen Van Loocke

Hi Koen,
As Matt said, really this option doesn't exist.
I usually add a comment in the description of the method (when Z), some times I insert an icon in this observation, this can be done through the following syntax( @8O\Q ) in description as follow.
Method Description => "@8N\Q this method should be avoided !"
Greetings.

Redefine Static Methods in ABAP OO

Hello,
I want to redefine an public static method and returns always an error.
Okay, I already solved the problem with an workaround, but I still don't understand, why it is not possible to redefine static methods in ABAP OO.
If someone can give me an plausible reason, so I don't have do die stupid. G
Thanks for help!

It is built into the language that way. HEre is a link that may or may not give you an answer.

Meaning of factory method in abap objects

Hi,
Can anybody help me in understanding the meaning of factory method in abap object? what is the importance of this?
Regards
Sudhansu

Hi Krish and Sudhansu,
Design patterns are solutions which are already verified and known by many developers. That is why it is worth to use them. There is no need to reinvent the wheel in many cases.
I would recommend book which is placed in the ABAP world:
http://www.sap-press.com/products/Design-Patterns-in-Object%252dOriented-ABAP-(2nd-Edition).html
Although Java language has intuitive syntax, there are some special things in ABAP development so it is better to check solutions adjusted for ABAP editor.
The most common usage of factory pattern is to simplify object creation.
- By one method call you provide required parameters and do all initializations, including dependent objects.
- Class can have many factory methods, if you want to provide more ways of initialization.
- Factory method is usually static in the class and they return initialized instance of object for this class.
- There is naming convention to start factory method name with "create" - easy to recognize pattern.
- If you set property of class to "private instantiation" then you force to use factory method for object creation. In this way it is really simple to find all places where object are created with given set of input parameters - find references of factory method.
Factory pattern becomes even more powerful if we add inheritance. Factory method returns basic object (like ZCL_VEHICLE) but its implementation can return different subclass instance, depending on input parameter (ZCL_CAR, ZCL_TRAIN etc). Each instance can implement differently behavior (methods implementation), but these are object oriented techniques.

After changing deprecated methods in Thread Class

I have changed the deprecated methods suspend() and stop() with JDK1.2.2 methods wait() and thread = null respectively. I wanted to know the affects after changing when I actually run the application.

For one thing, "thread = null" won't stop the thread. In fact it will have no effect on the thread at all.

Deprecated methods in Interfaces

Hi all,
I'm implementing an interface containing some deprecated methods. These deprecated methods have to be implemented, of course. If I compile my implementation I get deprecation warnings for these implemented methods. Does anyone know how I can get rid of these warnings? I've added @deprecated flags to my implementation of these methods, but that didn't solve these warnings. I'm using JDK 1.3.1.
Thanks
Daniel.

Technically it's a feature. :p
but seriously, the whole deprecated thing is a feature, it's too bad that in this case you have to live with it, but there's no way around it.
besides it doesn't matter if you call a depreciated method as it is still going to work. It just means that some point in the future it will not be supported. And judgeing by sun's past actions, I would say that it's more of a way to encourage people not to use old methods, but I don't think that they will ever remove the depreciated methods from the api.
The only methods you have to watch out for are the few like those the Thread which are just not implemented at all. Like thread.destroy()

Deprecated methods in 10.1.3

Many methods in 10.1.3 are marked as deprecated.
For example, class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Descriptor is replaced by ClassDescriptor and RelationalDescriptor where getQueryManager() is deprecated with no replacement method.
Another example, in oracle.toplink.sessions.Session interface, method containsObjectInIdentityMap is deprecated and no replacement is specified.
I understand those deprecated methods will probably be removed in the future TopLink release. My question is: will TopLink provide the functions currently implemented in those methods, i.e. replacement methods?
Thanks.
Haiwei

Haiwei,
Yes the work done in 10.1.3 to add formal support for non-relational mapping (Object-XML and EIS/JCA) did require some refactoring of the descriptor class. In the end the previous Descriptor class was deprecated in place of a new ClassDescriptor hierarchy. This work is backwards compatible but some of the deprecated methods were not properly Java Doc'd with their new replacement.
getQueryManager() -> getDescriptorQueryManager() - New method on ClassDescriptor
All of the cache access methods have been refactored into a new IdentityMapAccessor class. This is available from any session using getIdentityMapAccessor().

Removing deprecated methods from legacy source?

What does one do about deprecated methods in legacy code?
As new versions of the compiler seem to keep supporting the deprecated methods (just offering warnings), there is no reason to invest the resources to update the source? I don't mean methods such as:
java.lang.Thread stop(),
I am thinking of methods such as:
java.awt.Window show();
Will there ever be tangible consequences to not stopping using deprecated methods? Will code with deprecated methods eventually break?
Edited by: dpxqb on May 7, 2010 9:50 PM

There's often an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality around deprecated methods and classes. Whether that's appropriate or not depends on the individual case. Any deprecated method/class may be removed in any future release, but you have to balance the risk of that happening against the cost of replacing it. Some methods/classes will probably never go away--like Vector, for instance. So there's not much benefit to doing a search/replace on a large codebase.
It depends on your analysis of the various risks and rewards in your particular situation.

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.

FInding the Replacements for deprecated methods

I am new to using the Java environment, having been mostly a VB/VB .NET and web developer...so please forgive me if this is a dumb question:
I inherited some java code that is an extension to a 3rd party app. It was originally written under JDK 1.2.2 (I think), and I am now trying to recompile under JDK 1.4.2, using the Borland JBuilder X IDE.
Everything seems to be OK, except that I get two warning messages about deprecated methods:
getFormComponent().setFormProperties()
getFormComponent().getAllFormProperties()
I probably should have checked more, but these names would appear to be standard java classes. What methods should I be using instead? And more importantly, how do I go about looking up the current methods?
Thanks in advance.

I was coming to that conclusion as well...unfortunately, the 3rd party SW vendor does not appear to have updated their supplied documentation - all of the code examples still use the deprecated methods, and their HTML help doesn't return anything when I search for the method names.
Looks like a call to their technical support line...
THANKS for the prompt reply.

Calling custom Infotype method from ABAP report

Hi Experts,
I am working on an application where i need to call a method of a custom defined infotype.
I have done this -->
1. Create a custom infotype 9111
2. SAP creates a class of that infotype ZCL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_9111
3. Inside this method there are few inherited method which provide me functionality of insert , update , delete
i want to call methods IF_HRPA_INFTY_BL~MODIFY,
IF_HRPA_INFTY_BL~INSERT
However when i call these method from abap report this method does not work.
where as when i try to insert an entry using PA30 transaction it works.
Does anyone know why does this happen and what is the solution?

I have also tried by instantiating the cl_hrpa_masterdata_bl and then calling the methods on that object...... makes no difference.
I used this link to proceed with the modifications:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/43/21d2254bba2bebe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
The funny thing is that the WHOLE logic executes without any error messages or dumps or anything. I have now debugged almost every line of code that these methods call. PA30 works just fine. HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION does not .. that's a whole differnt story.

File handling deprecated method - which one?

I have this code, it should basically use the lines of text in a file and use them to construct nodes in a JTree. The compilation error is that the class uses a deprecated method - so does anybody know what method is the problem and what I should use?
private void createNodes(DefaultMutableTreeNode top)
   DefaultMutableTreeNode anode = null;
   File theFile = new File("categories.txt");
try
DataInputStream din1 = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(theFile));
    //while (din1.available() !=0)
    while (true)
       String topic = din1.readLine().trim();
       //set the string as a tree node
       anode = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(topic);
       top.add(anode);
     din1.close();//close the file handle
     catch (Exception e)
          System.err.println("File input error");
}//end of method

If you compile with deprecation it will tell you specifically.
I think it is:
javac -deprecation ...
The only method from below that I think it could be is readLine() in DataInputStream...
If you are reading text...try:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(theFile));
String topic;
while ((topic=br.readLine())!=null)
    anode = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(topic);
    top.add(anode);
br.close();
