Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
com.sun.faces.facelets.FaceletCache.InstanceFactory

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
jakarta.faces.webapp.AttributeTag The Faces implementation must now provide the implementation for this class.
jakarta.faces.webapp.ConverterTag This has been partially replaced by ConverterELTag. The remainder of the functionality, namely, the binding facility and the implementation of the ConverterTag.createConverter() method, is now an implementation detail.
com.sun.faces.facelets.FaceletCache
com.sun.faces.facelets.el.LegacyELContext
com.sun.faces.facelets.el.LegacyMethodBinding
com.sun.faces.facelets.el.LegacyValueBinding
jakarta.faces.el.MethodBinding This has been replaced by MethodExpression.
jakarta.faces.el.PropertyResolver This has been replaced by ELResolver.
jakarta.faces.view.facelets.ResourceResolver
jakarta.faces.application.StateManager.SerializedView This class was not marked Serializable in the 1.0 version of the spec. It was also not a static inner class, so it can't be made to be Serializable. Therefore, it is being deprecated in version 1.2 of the spec. The replacement is to use an implementation dependent Object.
jakarta.faces.webapp.UIComponentBodyTag All component tags now implement BodyTag. This class has been replaced by UIComponentELTag.
jakarta.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag Use of this class has been replaced with UIComponentELTag, which extends UIComponentClassicTagBase to add properties that use the Jakarta Expression Language API introduced as part of Jakarta Server Pages 2.1.
jakarta.faces.webapp.ValidatorTag This has been partially replaced by ValidatorELTag. The remainder of the functionality, namely, the binding facility and the implementation of the ValidatorTag.createValidator() method, is now an implementation detail.
jakarta.faces.el.ValueBinding This has been replaced by ValueExpression.
jakarta.faces.el.VariableResolver This has been replaced by ELResolver when operating with a null base argument.
com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl Refer to MultiViewHandler

Deprecated Exceptions

Exceptions and Description
jakarta.faces.el.EvaluationException This has been replaced by ELException.
jakarta.faces.el.MethodNotFoundException This has been replaced by MethodNotFoundException.
jakarta.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException This has been replaced by PropertyNotFoundException.
jakarta.faces.el.ReferenceSyntaxException This has been replaced by ELException.

Deprecated Annotation Types

Annotation Type and Description
jakarta.faces.bean.ApplicationScoped This has been replaced by jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped, which is a CDI build-in scope with similar semantics.
jakarta.faces.bean.CustomScoped This has been replaced by CDI custom scopes and jakarta.enterprise.context.spi.Context. See 2.4.2 and 6.2 of the CDI specification for further details.
jakarta.faces.bean.ManagedBean This has been replaced by the Managed Beans specification in general and specifically the dependency injection, scopes and naming from the CDI specification. Note that the eager attribute for application scoped beans is replaced specifically by observing the jakarta.enterprise.context.Initialized event for jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped. See 6.7.3 of the CDI spec for further details.
jakarta.faces.bean.ManagedProperty This has been replaced by jakarta.faces.annotation.ManagedProperty, which is a CDI build-in bean with similar semantics
jakarta.faces.bean.NoneScoped This has been replaced by jakarta.enterprise.context.Dependent, which is a CDI build-in scope with approximately similar semantics.
jakarta.faces.bean.ReferencedBean The referenced-bean concept was used for a design time promise which however did not achieve widespread adoption. There is no direct replacement for this other than using the XML variant in faces-config.xml.
jakarta.faces.bean.RequestScoped This has been replaced by jakarta.enterprise.context.RequestScoped, which is a CDI build-in scope with similar semantics.
jakarta.faces.bean.SessionScoped This has been replaced by jakarta.enterprise.context.SessionScoped, which is a CDI build-in scope with similar semantics.
jakarta.faces.bean.ViewScoped This has been replaced by jakarta.faces.view.ViewScoped. The functionality of this corresponding annotation is identical to this one, but it is implemented as a CDI custom scope.

jakarta.faces.application.Application.setPropertyResolver(PropertyResolver) The recommended way to affect the execution of the Jakarta Expression Language is to provide an <el-resolver> element at the right place in the application configuration resources which will be considered in the normal course of expression evaluation. This method now will cause the argument resolver to be wrapped inside an implementation of ELResolver and exposed to the Jakarta Expression Language resolution system as if the user had called Application.addELResolver(jakarta.el.ELResolver).

jakarta.faces.application.ApplicationWrapper.setVariableResolver(VariableResolver) See superclass for alternative.
jakarta.faces.application.Application.setVariableResolver(VariableResolver) The recommended way to affect the execution of the Jakarta Expression Language is to provide an <el-resolver> element at the right place in the application configuration resources which will be considered in the normal course of expression evaluation. This method now will cause the argument resolver to be wrapped inside an implementation of ELResolver and exposed to the Jakarta Expression Language resolution system as if the user had called Application.addELResolver(jakarta.el.ELResolver).
jakarta.faces.application.StateManager.writeState(FacesContext, StateManager.SerializedView) This method has been replaced by StateManager.writeState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext,java.lang.Object). The default implementation calls the non-deprecated variant of the method passing an Object [] as the second argument, where the first element of the array is the return from getStructure() and the second is the return from getState() on the argument state.
jakarta.faces.render.ResponseStateManager.writeState(FacesContext, StateManager.SerializedView) This method has been replaced by ResponseStateManager.writeState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext,java.lang.Object). The default implementation creates a two element Object array with the first element being the return from calling StateManager.SerializedView.getStructure(), and the second being the return from StateManager.SerializedView.getState(). It then passes this Object array to ResponseStateManager.writeState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object).
