Deprecated versus obsolete

Hi,
This has puzzled me for several years. Can anyone tell me the difference between deprecated methods and obsolete methods? I would normally think that "obsolete" is worse than "deprecated", but that doesn't seem to be the case.
For instance, the Container method add(String, object) is "obsolete", but you don't get any warnings when you use it. Likewise, the java.awt.Choice method addItem() is supposed to be obsolete, but you don't get a compiler error or warning when you use it. On the other hand, the java.awt.List addItem() method is deprecated, and you do get a warning.
Why aren't the obsolete methods marked as deprecated, and why don't obsolete methods trigger compile-time warnings?
Anybody have an answer?

Must be from a book.
OP: In your case the author's intent for using the
word 'obsolete' would be to mean that it is
deprecated. Nope, should've read his post.
From the API:
add
public Component add(String name,
                     Component comp)Adds the specified component to this container. This is a convenience method for addImpl
(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).
This method is obsolete as of 1.1. Please use the method add(Component,
Object) instead.
See Also:
add(Component, Object)I would think "obsolete" is just an informal "deprecated". It is
strange to have them refer to it as that without deprecating it,
however.

    my boss is pushing for explanations and i have no idea how to find the information (i personally am of the school that says if during the database creation, you get warning messages, it's gone and you just accept it...maybe i have been working with oracle too long?)
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi,
    Check for these parameters in Oracle9i documentation. There are some mentioning of new parameters to be used for the deprecated parameters. Ofcourse, not all are available.

  • What is feature about programing on 10g that have been deprecated on 11g?

    Hi All
         I knew just about new feature and enhancement on 11g but I don't know about programming feature that have been deprecated or obsoleted on 11g.
         Because my client concerned If they will upgrade to 11g, What have source codes been impacted or need to be rewritten?
         Updated : I opened SR for this question already if I got any information, I will share to you all ASAP.
    Thank you for advance.

  • Way to know obsolete/moved packages in pacman?

    Hi,
            Is there a way to know which packages are right now installed on my system(say when I first installed Arch) but which are no longer in the repos or the devs might have changed/merged/renamed them into another packages and thus are no longer updated when I do a -Syu?
    The reason is that after installing Alpha 4 and doing a -Syu, I have found many packages moved or merged thereby are now giving library errors or not loading etc. So sort of deprecated or obsolete list by pacman will help in upkeep of a rolling distro. I can get a list of such packages and  maybe ask pacman to auto uninstall them if it is safe just the way we do autoclean. Also it will be great if we can see what/where they have been moved into the newer package names.
    Any ideas/plans?

For instance in Alpha 4 there was kdemod-partitonmanager which is no longer there afer a -Syu and so  Iwant to remove kdemod-partitionmanager(and all deps and co-installed packages) but also install the new ones so they are kept updating.
    So... you want to remove a package that is not there?  The best way to achieve that is to do nothing and it will already be done.   To find anything unneeded that was installed as a dep, use the command I gave above.
    No!. I meant that kdemod-partitionmanager is installed on my machine as per A4(and thus also in my pacman DB) but is no longer in the repo. how can I see such packages and remove them and at the sametime also know(before removing them) where they are moved to so that I can use the new pkgnames if I want them to be useful to me.

  • Adobe, you can do so much better.

    Last year I switched from an aging but fulling functioning macbook pro to a new spiffy, tiny 11" macbook air. Migration was slow but efficient with only one problem. CS3 did not migrate.
    I was quite happy with CS3. It did what I needed it to do. PS and DW are key to a small subset of my work. I had been using these programmes since I built a Flash website in 2000/1, upgrading every few years, and then from Macromedia to Adobe.
    I contacted Adobe. I was told, without apology, that they no longer supported installation issues on CS3. I couldn't believe this. I bought it less than 3 years ago. I was told I should upgrade to CS5. Well, I didn't want to, and I certainly didn't feel like there was $800 of value in it for me at this time (obviously I planned to update at some point). I was really mad.
    A friend had a copy of CS4 with a spare install. He let me borrow it. This got me through some key website updates, but I had to unauthorise and return once these were done.
    Eventually I got a copy of CS5 and I set about installing it last Friday.
    6 hours of uninstalling, reinstalling and scouring these forums and I gave up. I would call tech support on Monday (today).
    The details of the install failure will be no news to folk here, but there was no consistency from programme to programme - DW would stall, PS wouldn't quit without permissions failure and Illustrator and Flash would just crash...
    Today I was about to call, but decided to get all the updates ready, so I was at adobe.com when a pop up chat helper offered help. OK, I'll try this. I let them into my computer - desktop access - and about an hour later Illustrator, Flash and the communication software crashed.
    I start again, no way to contact the specific helper. Maybe 90 minutes later this next person concluded that there were permissions problems (duh) and that I should create a new admin account and see if the programmes worked there...
    And what if they do, I asked?
    No meaningful reply.
    I made it clear that I was willing to do this if it could help solve the issue, I went ahead. Sure enough the programmes all functioned for user 'Test'.
    'Excellent' said my helper.
    "Why excellent?'
    Surely you don't expect me to switch users to access Photoshop?
    This person continued to act as if the issue was resolved, I maintained that it absolutely was not, and so eventually they gave me a phone number to call.
    I never got far enough with the issues with Jim before the call was cut off. OK, Jim has my number, he'll call back. I'll just have a look at these permissions while I wait.
    He did not call back.
    While I was waiting - a couple of hours (I figured maybe he was consulting some genius) - I accessed the 'Test' account from mine (by adding my account permssions to view 'Test')
    The pertinent folders and files were all very simple - all had permssions for 'Test' - read and write, and for Everyone - no access.
    I looked at my folders- the ones in
    User(me)/library/applications support/adobe, and the ones in User(me)/library/preferences
    The permissions were all over the place. Some I had read and write, so read only, some I was not mentioned... and almost all had permssions given to 'wheel' to read and write. Clearly the CS5 installer is not doing what it wants to...
    I set about cleaning the folders (and contents) up - making sure I had read and write, everyone had no access and deleting any other accounts.
    It worked. I did it for just Illustrator first, and then updated the programmes and permssions as I went...
    Then I called Adobe back and complained.
    That was about 13 hours of my time to istall a suite of programmes.
    It seems pretty clear to me that the DVD version of CS5 was printed up and then it became clear that the installer was not working for a significant percentage of customers. I have seen reference to these issues dating back to CS5's release, a long time ago. Adobe must know this. But what could they do? They have two choices with the DVDs - they recall them and replace them, or they leave them out there and deal with the fall out. I know what I think of Adobe, in this regard, now.
    I know beta testing on the general public is common practice, but I do believe that Adobe has crossed a line here. How much work would it have taken to test the installers in just a couple of hunderd macs? This cannot have happened.
    I'd love to dump my Adobe software and replace it with better stuff from better companies, if it's out there, but I don't have the time, and I feel like I have too much invested in the product (probably about $3000 since 1999). I'm sure Adobe knows and understands how they have many of us by the balls, so to speak, economically. Our position holds little leverage. The only thing we can do is complain and be vocal about it.
    I will be posting this account on my website also. I encourage you all to share your stories. Adobe's customer service right now, is second to everyone. I have not experineced worse. It's hard to argue with the kids using their cracked copies.

    While I certainly agree that Adobe has a responsibilty to fix
    bugs,how in the world is it their responsibility to fix an Apple or
    Microsoft problem?
    It is not their responsibility. But working around such problems
    is what they should do. Because if they don't, their apps are
    unusable.
    It is the responsibility of the O/S vendor to make sure that any
    installation will not break an installed application...and that is
    black and white.
    It's not so simple, it depends on what the app does.
    For instance, Adobe install many files in /Library. That is much more
    likely to cause problems than files installed under /Applications.
    And many problems are subtle. Suppose Adobe uses an Apple API in their
    code, and it stops working in Lion. Why? Perhaps Adobe used the Apple
    API in subtly wrong way that Apple didn't expect, and improvements in
    the Apple code caused the subtlety to change? Whose fault is that?
    Probably not Apple's. Adobe violated the spec.
    What if Apple declared that the API was deprecated and obsolete, but
    Adobe still used it because they wanted to retain compatibility with
    10.4, which did not support the API that replaced it? Whose fault is
    that? I think it is a lot less clear.
    What if Adobe thinks Adobe is using an API correctly, but Apple thinks
    they are not, and reasonable people can disagree? (I hear Companies are
    People. And who would argue that Adobe and Apple are not reasonable?)
    These are not clear-cut and black-and-white situations. To a large part,
    everyone has to put aside their differences and try to work to improve
    the situation.
    Apple clearly doesn't give a damn about this and
    never has.
    It's easy to say this but it's not true. Apple hasn't put the same
    degree of effort into compatibility, and there are many reasons for
    it.  But they do indeed make an effort not to break apps. Perhaps
    their efforts come up wantings. Honestly, I'm not sure. It's very
    tough to innovate while retaining compatibility (witness, reading ID
    CS5.5 files in CS5), and the engineering tradeoffs are often not visible
    to those of us wh oare users.
    I'm happy to agree that Apple doesn't give enough damns for Bob. But
    not that they give no damns at all.
    And what happens if Adobe does workaround an Apple/MS bug and
    Lion or Windows is fixed? Bang!  Everything's broken again.
    Proper application of a workaround should not then fail again when the
    bug-being-worked-around is fixed. That would be a pretty bad workaround.
    And in most cases, there's no need for such either/or -ness. And in
    the remaining cases, it's all about the cost of making the workaround
    good enough.

  • 1503653.1 - should change the comptability to 11.0.0 from 10.2.0.5 before manuelly upgrade?

    hi All,
    i am trying to follow through the steps.
    I will be porting the data from the old box into a new box ( windows 12.1.0.2.0)
    I run the pre- tools script -> preupgrd.sql
    it give me error or some warning to fix before doing the upgrade.
    My question is , before i port over the data via a cold backup, should i first change the compatability to 11.0.0 from 10.2.0.5.0 (source db) then do a cold backup then port over the data to the new box then do the upgrade steps?
    of course i can change the init.ora process to 300. As for the rest of the warning, i am not too sure is it necessary for me to do it since i will moving to a new box. Warning likes, EM database control, etc

    A full backup isn't neccessary specifically for this upgrade.  Just port your data over, change the compatibile parameter on the spfile/pfile on your target upgrade host and upgrade away.
    Your source will be your backup so I would be inclined not to change things on there.
    You can ignore some of the warning like EM dbcontrol as it states you can do it manually prior to the upgrade to save time, otherwise it will be done as part of the upgrade process anyway.
    Other warnings like. OLAP and the timezone file (timezone is a recommendation) you will need to pay attention to and action, as well as the network ACL warning:

  • CS5 system requirements

    I was looking at the System requirements for the CS5 Design Premium on Mac platform, it states that you need "Multicore Intel processor". If I only have the Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 will CS5 Design Premium still work? All the other requirements I meet just fine. Thanks for the help.

    Since you directly addressed me and Adobe, some thoughts ...
    I fully understand your disappointment in Adobe's not supporting the version of MacOS you have on your system with the CS5 software. If it makes you feel any better, I personally will need to upgrade the MacBook Pro on my desktop to MacOS 10.6.x from MacOS 10.4.x; I never upgraded the OS because I never had reason to do so. For what I was using that Mac for, there was nothing new or compelling in 10.5 or 10.6 that made it worth my time and effort to do a clean MacOS install. Hopefully, I will not have problems doing that OS upgrade prior to my installation of CS5 software. And I'm not the only one within Adobe who has this problem.
    Then why aren't we supporting older MacOS versions? Ideally we would but there are practical considerations that prevent that, whether you or I like those considerations or not.
    (1)     If we support a particular OS configuration, it means that we must fully test the products under that environment. We cannot simply assume that they will work. If we didn't put an OS limitation on the product and didn't do due dilligence in testing in the older OS environments and there were problems, would you be satisfied? I doubt it and wouldn't blame you for being even more upset with Adobe. The cost of fulling testing on an older OS version used by a very small minority of our target market is no less than the cost of testing under the most current OS release.
    (2)     Although Apple makes their OS releases look like "dot releases" (i.e., 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, etc.), there are many more very major differences and incompatibilities between these "dot releases" than there are between different major versions of Windows during the same time period (i.e., Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7), at least from the programmers' point of view.
    (3)     Building upon (2) above, the fact is that MacOS development over the years has been much more about neat and cool, cool and neatthan upwards application compatibility. Traditionally and historically, the supreme requirement of OS developers is to maintain upwards application compatibility. In other words, OS release n+1 should be able to run all applications that ran under OS release n with no programming changes and with the same results. New OS features should not break old ones. For the most part, Windows has been fairly successful in this arena with relatively few problems, most of which had to do with closing what ended up being unintended security holes. Only now in 64-bit Windows versions are ancient 16-bit applications finally obsolete. This is not the case with MacOS X. With each of the new "dot releases" (the things with the cat names), some existing APIs (Application Program Interfaces) are either deprecated (made obsolete) or broken and actually replaced with different APIs. Forgetting the cost of reprogramming to meet the new API specifications (which is quite considerable for large programs such the CS5 applications), the cost of accommodating (programming and testing for) multiple generations of APIs and taking different software code paths based on OS versions is staggering, adding tremendously to the program complexity and even possibly resulting in certain program features not being available depending upon the OS version.
    Bottom line is that given how Apple develops, tests, and releases OS versions, Adobe needs to make prudent decisions as to what OS versions it can reasonably simultaneously support while maintaining some reasonable level of software functionality, performance, and quality.
    Having read the full thread of the responses here, it would appear that the blocker to allowing you to upgrade the OS to a more current version that is supported by CS5 is associated with upward OS software compatibility and how it affects a video card's driver. Unfortunately, I suspect that the video card's manufacturer also got stung with OS upward compatibility issues and had to make decisions in terms of what to continue developing and supporting.
    This certainly isn't great news for you and it does mean that one way or another you will need to upgrade more than one component to move forward, but I did want to address your question in as straightforward and honest a manner as I could.

    Hi there,
    I have recently installed Oracle 10g using DBCA. I then ran some scripts to utilise our internal application that runs on Oracle 9i. After shutting down the instance and restarting it, I get the following error:

    This parameter determines if the background process ARCH is started. It can be set to either true or false.
    Of course, it makes no sense, if this parameter is set to true if the database is running in noarchive log mode. If ARCH is started with the database being in noarchive log mode, messages like media recovery disabled will be written into the alert.log file.

    Precisely that parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_START is obsolete in 10g. You also don't need to enable the archiving with
    archive log start
    Simply changing into archive mode also brings up archiver processes since 10g :-)

  • ORA-32004: obsolete and or deprecated parameter

    Oracle 11.1.7.0:
    When I startup the db I get ORA-32004. There is no trace of which parameter is obsolete in alert logs. Neither do I see that parameter in v$obsolete_parameter. How can I look at what that parameter is?

    I found it in alert log. Since it was one parameter I didn't see it clearly in the logs. This parameter was user_dump_dest. I reset this parameter. But we have a requirement to set this parameter becaus current filesystem doesn't have enough space. How can I set this so that the destination can be on different volume than $ORACLE_HOME?
