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.pages.BreadcrumbsManager
use GlobalHelper instead to retrieve breadcrumbs and PageHelper to retrieve ellipsis breadcrumbs.

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.event.EventListener
Old interface! Please use EventListener for your event listeners

com.atlassian.confluence.json.JSONAction
- 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
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.util.ResourceManager
since 2.8, use attachment manager to store resources associated with pages. ResourceManager does not work in cluster.

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).

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

com.atlassian.confluence.util.ThumbnailInfoFactory
since 3.0. Not used anywhere in Confluence and will be removed in a future version. Construct ThumbnailInfo directly.

Deprecated Classes

com.atlassian.confluence.plugin.descriptor.web.conditions.AbstractConfluenceCondition
since 2.8 use BaseConfluenceCondition, which no longer has a dependency on the abomination which is GlobalHelper.

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.actions.AbstractEditAttachedFileAction

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.actions.AbstractFileAttachmentAction

com.atlassian.confluence.security.actions.AbstractGlobalPermissionsAction

com.atlassian.renderer.macro.macros.AbstractHtmlGeneratingMacro

com.atlassian.confluence.renderer.radeox.macros.include.AbstractHttpRetrievalMacro
Use BaseHttpRetrievalMacro, which uses the correct version of the Renderer API.

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.actions.AbstractPageChangeAction

com.atlassian.confluence.plugin.descriptor.web.conditions.AbstractPermissionCondition
since 2.8 use BasePermissionCondition

com.atlassian.confluence.security.actions.AbstractSpacePermissionsAction

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

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

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.ChildPositionComparator
use Page.CHILD_POSITION_COMPARATOR A comparator used to sort pages based on the Page Ordering sort rules.

This comparator will compare the position of the two pages with null smaller than anything else. If that comparison results in 0 a title based "natural" sort will be used. For details on the Natural Sort algorithm see the NaturalStringComparator.

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.

com.atlassian.confluence.util.ConfluenceVelocityResourceCache
Since 2.9. Use ConfluenceVelocityResourceCache instead.

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.DefaultBreadcrumbsManager
use GlobalHelper instead to retrieve breadcrumbs and PageHelper to retrieve ellipsis breadcrumbs.

com.atlassian.confluence.util.DefaultResourceManager
see the deprecation warning in the ResourceManager interface.

com.atlassian.confluence.util.DefaultThumbnailInfoFactory
since 3.0 see ThumbnailInfoFactory

com.atlassian.confluence.util.DiffResult
Use ConfluenceDiff

com.atlassian.confluence.util.ajax.ErrorResponseException
since 2.9 use normal control flow instead of exceptions.

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.actions.ExportWordPageAction

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.util.io.IOUtils
since 3.0 use IOUtils instead

com.atlassian.confluence.json.parser.JSONArray
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
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
since 3.0. Use ContributorQueryMapper instead.
