Deprecated Interfaces

com.atlassian.confluence.core.Administrative
since 2.8. Please avoid this interface. Instead override ConfluenceActionSupport.isPermitted() and use PermissionManager.hasPermission(User,Permission,Object) instead. This will make it easier to determine the permissions required to invoke an action as they would be more explicit and in one place (you won't have to check whether the class or its super class implements this interface).

com.atlassian.confluence.user.AjaxUserProfileEditor
since 3.3 (use EditorSettingsAjaxAction instead)

bucket.cache.CacheManager
since 0.20, use (@link com.atlassian.cache.CacheManager} instead

com.atlassian.confluence.cache.CacheManagerKeys
since 3.0 put cache keys in the class which uses the cache

com.atlassian.confluence.search.lucene.ContentIndexTask
since 3.0. Use HandleAware instead

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.DraftAjax
since 3.3 (replaced by DraftAction)

com.atlassian.confluence.core.HeartbeatAjax
since 3.3 (replaced by HeartbeatAction)

com.atlassian.confluence.search.lucene.IndexRebuilder
since 3.4, please use ConfluenceIndexManager

com.atlassian.confluence.userstatus.InlineWikiStyleRenderer
since 3.1 confusingly named. Use StatusTextRenderer instead.

com.atlassian.confluence.json.JSONAction
since 2.10 - Use DefaultJsonator with an AbstractCommandAction instead. This interface is used as a convenience to indicate that an action can provide its result in JSON format. It's not strictly needed as the result uses reflection but is provided anyway as a convenience.

com.atlassian.confluence.json.parser.JSONString
since 2.10 Use the json.objects classes. The JSONString interface allows a toJSONString() method so that a class can change the behavior of JSONObject.toString(), JSONArray.toString(), and JSONWriter.value(Object). The toJSONString method will be used instead of the default behavior of using the Object's toString() method and quoting the result.

com.atlassian.confluence.core.actions.LastModifiedAware
since 3.1 use HttpCacheValidatable instead.

com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.actions.SpaceAdministrative
since 2.8. Please avoid this interface. Instead override ConfluenceActionSupport.isPermitted() and use PermissionManager.hasPermission(User,Permission,Object) instead. This will make it easier to determine the permissions required to invoke an action as they would be more explicit and in one place (you won't have to check whether the class or its super class implements this interface). Also implement BreadcrumbAware and return a new SpaceAdminActionBreadcrumb

com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.actions.Spaced
since 3.0. Use Spaced instead.

com.atlassian.confluence.themes.ThemeStylesheet
since 3.4. Use ThemeResource instead.

com.atlassian.confluence.util.ThumbnailInfoFactory

com.atlassian.confluence.labels.actions.AddLabelToEntityBean
since 3.3 (replaced by AddLabelAjaxAction

bucket.core.persistence.hibernate.AnyTypeHibernateObjectDao
since 1.4. This has been moved into Confluence. As far as we could tell from fisheye, these is only one usage of this class outside of Confluence. Javablogs uses the log.

bucket.search.lucene.extractor.BaseAttachmentContentExtractor
since 3.0 (at least) use com.atlassian.bonnie.search.extractor.BaseAttachmentContentExtractor instead

com.atlassian.confluence.search.lucene.tasks.BaseContentIndexTask
since 3.0.

com.atlassian.confluence.setup.BootstrapUtils
since 2.3 use BootstrapUtils

com.atlassian.confluence.upgrade.upgradetask.BundleUserMacrosUpgradeTask
BN 3.4 - This upgrade task cannot be used since it cannot be applied to new installs (CONFDEV-796). Reinstate this task when user macros are proper plugins.

com.atlassian.confluence.event.ConfluenceEventManager
Since 3.3, use ConfluenceEventPublisherManager

com.atlassian.confluence.search.lucene.ConfluenceMultiThreadedIndexer
since 3.0. Multithreading moved into MultiThreadedIndexRebuilder and OnlineMultiThreadedIndexer.allThreadsComplete(com.atlassian.bonnie.index.BatchOpIndexer.DocumentWritingScheme, boolean, com.atlassian.core.util.ProgressWrapper) moved to TempIndexWriterStrategy.mergeAndClose().

com.atlassian.confluence.search.lucene.ConfluenceObjectToDocumentConverter
since 3.0. Use ConfluenceDocumentBuilder instead.

com.atlassian.confluence.setup.webwork.ConfluenceVelocityContext
Since 3.0. Use ConfluenceVelocityManager.getConfluenceVelocityContext() instead.

com.atlassian.confluence.plugin.descriptor.ConfluenceVelocityModuleDescriptor
since 3.0, extend AbstractModuleDescriptor and implement UserLocaleAware instead.

Since 2.9. Use ConfluenceVelocityResourceCache instead.

Since 3.4, use WebResourceModuleDescriptor instead

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.wysiwyg.ConfluenceWysiwygConverterDWRWrapper

since 2.9 use normal control flow instead of exceptions.

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.actions.ExportWordPageAction
since 2.9

com.atlassian.confluence.search.lucene.filter.FiltersContainer
since 2.10. The introduction of ChainedFilter into Lucene has made this class redundant.

com.atlassian.confluence.plugin.descriptor.web.conditions.GlobalAdministratorOnlyCondition
since 2.7. If the link or operation protected by this condition has the potential to compromise the security of the system, please use SystemAdministratorOrSuperUserCondition instead, otherwise, use ConfluenceAdministratorCondition. To err on the side of more security, we are assuming plugin developers intended a restriction to the most powerful group of administrators. Hence this deprecated class will inherit the permission checks of SystemAdministratorOrSuperUserCondition. This class has been reintroduced to prevent problems with the approvals plugin.

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.actions.InsertImageInDraftAction
since 3.1 this action is no longer required by Confluence. Use AttachFileAction to attach files and AttachedImagesAction to view the current attached images.

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.actions.InsertImageInPageAction
since 3.1 this action is no longer required by Confluence. Use AttachFileAction to attach files and AttachedImagesAction to view the current attached images.

com.atlassian.confluence.util.io.IOUtils
since 3.0 use IOUtils instead

com.atlassian.confluence.json.parser.JSONArray
since 2.10 Use the json.objects classes. A JSONArray is an ordered sequence of values. Its external text form is a string wrapped in square brackets with commas separating the values. The internal form is an object having get and opt methods for accessing the values by index, and put methods for adding or replacing values. The values can be any of these types: Boolean, JSONArray, JSONObject, Number, String, or the JSONObject.NULL object.

The constructor can convert a JSON text into a Java object. The toString method converts to JSON text.

A get method returns a value if one can be found, and throws an exception if one cannot be found. An opt method returns a default value instead of throwing an exception, and so is useful for obtaining optional values.

The generic get() and opt() methods return an object which you can cast or query for type. There are also typed get and opt methods that do type checking and type coersion for you.

The texts produced by the toString methods strictly conform to JSON syntax rules. The constructors are more forgiving in the texts they will accept:

• An extra , (comma) may appear just before the closing bracket.
• The null value will be inserted when there is , (comma) elision.
• Strings may be quoted with ' (single quote).
• Strings do not need to be quoted at all if they do not begin with a quote or single quote, and if they do not contain leading or trailing spaces, and if they do not contain any of these characters: { } [ ] / \ : , = ; # and if they do not look like numbers and if they are not the reserved words true, false, or null.
• Values can be separated by ; (semicolon) as well as by , (comma).
• Numbers may have the 0- (octal) or 0x- (hex) prefix.
• Comments written in the slashshlash, slashstar, and hash conventions will be ignored.

com.atlassian.confluence.json.parser.JSONTokener
since 2.10 Use the json.objects classes. A JSONTokener takes a source string and extracts characters and tokens from it. It is used by the JSONObject and JSONArray constructors to parse JSON source strings.

com.atlassian.confluence.search.v2.query.LastModifierQuery
since 3.0. Use ContributorQuery instead.

com.atlassian.confluence.search.v2.lucene.mapper.LastModifierQueryMapper

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.WebDavAttachmentManager
since 2.7 WebDav attachment storage is no longer supported We still need to keep the infrastructure around to support migrating WebDAV attachments back to Confluence, though so we can't remove it entirely?
