Re: [rest-dev] [External] : @Context removal vs. deprecation

[Jim Krueger <jckofbyron@xxxxxxxxx>]

Regardless of whether it is called 4.1 or 5.0.  It sounds like the consensus thus far is that @Context injection should be deprecated prior to being removed.   Are there any objections or concerns about this from others?

FWIW I'm okay with either the deprecation happening in 4.1 or a 5.0. That said, I do understand the desire to deprecate in 5.0 and remove in 6.0. It could help implementations handle the breaking changes a bit better so they themselves could break some compatibility.

Personally I prefer deprecation in a 5.0 (EE12) release prior to removal in a 6.0 release. That would help us with the possible compatibility issues related to the discussed CDI beans and Application methods.

Subject: [External] : [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
