Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
com.vaadin.flow.component.page.Page.ExecutionCanceler superseded by PendingJavaScriptResult

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
com.vaadin.flow.component.internal.HtmlDependencyParser Due for removal because of additional cache layer
com.vaadin.flow.router.internal.RouterUtil This is an internal class for Flow and should not be used outside. This is deprecated since 1.3 and will be removed in later versions of Flow.

Deprecated Annotation Types

com.vaadin.flow.server.VaadinServletConfiguration Leftover from Vaadin Framework 8 where the developer typically defines their own servlet class. Starting from Flow 1.0, a servlet is automatically registered and this annotation serves very little purpose.
