| [rest-dev] @Context removal vs. deprecation |
| Hi, The proposed Jakarta RESTful Web Services 4.0 content (https://deploy-preview-705--jakartaee-specifications.netlify.app/specifications/restful-ws/4.0/) is currently under a “progress review” but is expected to pass within a week. Assuming there are no problems, we can consider the 4.0 content to be set. And, at least for now, that work will continue in the “main” branch. That brings us to the discussion of what will be next. Do we push for a version 5.0 that removes @Context injection entirely or a 4.1 version that deprecates @Context injection and provides an alternative implementation? Both of these options carry many/most of the same concerns and some good progress has been made in the “release-3.2” branch toward deprecation.. So the question is, should this deprecation work continue in a “release-4.1” working branch or be abandon in favor of a “release-5.0” that removes @Context injection. Personally I prefer deprecation in a 4.1 release prior to removal in a 5.0 release, unless a blocking issue is discovered. What is your opinion? Thanks |
