This= =20 involves cleaning up bits and pieces and making sure everything that is=20 supposed to work, actually works.=20 Some of the following things are deprecated and have been for a while. I = would=20 like to know if anyone is using any of these features and if so tell me s= o=20 they can be preserved.=20 NOTE: Please send replies to the avalon-phoenix-dev mailing list so that = this=20 can be coordinated in one place. Heres the list of changes that I want to implement. If there is no negati= ve=20 responses by next weekend I will go ahead and do it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- Feature: Threads pools accessible from BlockContext Deprecated since: 2001/09/20 ie The check if the following methods are used anywhere in your code. BlockContext.getThreadPool(String) BlockContext.getDefaultThreadPool() -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- Feature: BaseLogger accessible from BlockContext Deprecated since: Sometime before 2001/04/27 ie The check if the following methods are used anywhere in your code. BlockContext.getBaseLogger() -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- Feature: Using elements named "block-listener" in assembly.xml Deprecated since: 2002/01/26 ie the correct element name is now so as not to confuse=20 differences between Block and Applicaiton Listeners. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- Feature: Using config elements named"management" to expose services as MB= eans Was only Non-deprecated between 2002/01/12 and 2002/01/25 ie the correct element name is -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- Feature: Using Service class Deprecated since: 2001/09/25 Deprecated with no replacement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- Feature: Old .sar packaging format Deprecated since: 2001/10/22 The .sar format previously allowed all blocks to be stored in=20 blocks/*.bar and libraries to be stored in lib/*.zip, lib/*.jar. This has= been=20 changed so that all jars/libraries are stored in SAR-INF/lib/*.jar and al= so=20 allows class files in SAR-INF/classes. The configuration files have also=20 moved into SAR-INF/*.xml -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- Feature: Directly Using LogKit Logger Deprecated since: 2001/10/31 We have been using a Logging facade (in o.a.a.framework.logger.*) for a w= hile=20 now but have had to support the old form of using the LogKit logger direc= tly.=20 Dropping support for non-facade would allow us to remove yet another=20 dependenancy from deployed applications (and allow us to use JDK1.4 Loggi= ng=20 where supported). -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- Feature: Use old config file name server.xml Deprecated since: 2001/11/10 SAR-INF/server.xml was renamed to SAR-INF/environment.xml because phoenix= and=20 this configuration was not specific to servers but to the environment in=20 which the applicaiton executes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------- --=20 Cheers, Peter Donald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
