Deprecated List (Axiom API API)

Deprecated Classes
Class and Description

Deprecated Methods
Method and Description
org.apache.axiom.om.util.CopyUtils.copy(SOAPEnvelope) This method has the same effect as calling `OMInformationItem.clone(OMCloneOptions)` on the source `SOAPEnvelope` with the following options enabled: `OMCloneOptions.setFetchDataHandlers(boolean)` `OMCloneOptions.setPreserveModel(boolean)` `OMCloneOptions.setCopyOMDataSources(boolean)` Instead of using this method, application code should use `OMInformationItem.clone(OMCloneOptions)` directly and fine tune the options for the particular use case.
org.apache.axiom.om.util.StAXUtils.createNetworkDetachedXMLStreamReader(InputStream) use `StAXUtils.createXMLStreamReader(StAXParserConfiguration, InputStream)` with `StAXParserConfiguration.STANDALONE`
org.apache.axiom.om.util.StAXUtils.createNetworkDetachedXMLStreamReader(InputStream, String) use `StAXUtils.createXMLStreamReader(StAXParserConfiguration, InputStream, String)` with `StAXParserConfiguration.STANDALONE`
org.apache.axiom.om.util.StAXUtils.createNetworkDetachedXMLStreamReader(Reader) use `StAXUtils.createXMLStreamReader(StAXParserConfiguration, Reader)` with `StAXParserConfiguration.STANDALONE`
org.apache.axiom.om.OMFactory.createOMText(OMContainer, char[], int)
org.apache.axiom.om.OMFactory.createOMText(OMContainer, QName) This method is only meaningful if it is used to create a text node that is the single child of an `OMElement`. However, for that purpose `OMElement.setText(QName)` should be used.
org.apache.axiom.om.OMFactory.createOMText(OMContainer, QName, int) Creating a text node containing a QName and having a type other than `OMNode.TEXT_NODE` is not meaningful.
org.apache.axiom.om.impl.builder.StAXOMBuilder.createPrefix() A builder doesn't need to generate prefixes.
org.apache.axiom.soap.SOAPFactory.createSOAPMessage(OMXMLParserWrapper) This method only exists for compatibility with Spring-WS and should not be used by application code.

org.apache.axiom.attachments.lifecycle.impl.FileAccessor.getDataHandler(String) This method is no longer used in Axiom 1.2.13 and will be removed in Axiom 1.3.
org.apache.axiom.om.util.StAXUtils.getEventTypeString(int) Use `XMLEventUtils.getEventTypeString(int)` instead
org.apache.axiom.attachments.Attachments.getIncomingAttachmentsAsSingleStream() As of Axiom 1.2.13, this method is no longer supported.

org.apache.axiom.attachments.Attachments.getSOAPPartInputStream() Use `Attachments.getRootPartInputStream()` instead.
org.apache.axiom.om.OMText.getTextAsQName() If the underlying parser is non coalescing, then this method may unexpectedly fail or return an incorrect result. Always use `OMElement.getTextAsQName()` to get the QName value of an element.

org.apache.axiom.om.OMText.getTextCharacters()
org.apache.axiom.om.impl.builder.StAXBuilder.init(InputStream, String, String, String) Not used anywhere
org.apache.axiom.om.OMOutputFormat.isAutoCloseWriter()

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MTOMXMLStreamWriter.isOptimizedThreshold(OMText) Serialization code should use `XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandler, String, boolean)` or `XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandlerProvider, String, boolean)` to submit any binary content and let this writer decide whether the content should be written as base64 encoded character data or using `xop:Include`. If this is not possible, then `MTOMXMLStreamWriter.prepareDataHandler(DataHandler)` should be used. All the aforementioned methods take into account the settings defined in `OMOutputFormat` to determine whether the binary data should be optimized or not. Therefore, there is not need for this method anymore.
org.apache.axiom.om.impl.util.OMSerializerUtil.isSetPrefixBeforeStartElement(XMLStreamWriter) This method was used to work around a StAX conformance issue in early versions of the XL XP-J parser. This is now handled by `StAXDialect`, and this method always returns `false`.
org.apache.axiom.util.base64.Base64Utils.isValidBase64Encoding(String)
org.apache.axiom.om.OMXMLParserWrapper.registerExternalContentHandler(Object) This method is no longer used; implementations will always throw `UnsupportedOperationException`.

org.apache.axiom.om.OMNode.serializeAndConsume(OutputStream, OMOutputFormat) This method is not meaningful on a node in general, but only on an `OMElement`.
org.apache.axiom.om.OMNode.serializeAndConsume(Writer) This method is not meaningful on a node in general, but only on an `OMElement`.
org.apache.axiom.om.OMNode.serializeAndConsume(Writer, OMOutputFormat) This method is not meaningful on a node in general, but only on an `OMElement`.

org.apache.axiom.om.OMOutputFormat.setAutoCloseWriter(boolean)
org.apache.axiom.om.impl.builder.StAXOMBuilder.setDoDebug(boolean)
org.apache.axiom.om.OMXMLStreamReader.setInlineMTOM(boolean) To return optimized base64 content as `xop:Include` elements, wrap the reader using `XOPEncodingStreamReader` or use the more generic `XOPUtils.getXOPEncodedStream(XMLStreamReader)` method. This method introduces unnecessary complexity in the `XMLStreamReader` implementation used by Axiom and will be removed in a future release.
org.apache.axiom.om.OMElement.setNamespaceWithNoFindInCurrentScope(OMNamespace) Use `OMNamedInformationItem.setNamespace(OMNamespace, boolean)` with `declare` set to `false`.
org.apache.axiom.soap.SOAPFaultNode.setNodeValue(String) This method conflicts with `Node.setNodeValue(String)` and will be removed in Axiom 1.3. Please use `SOAPFaultNode.setFaultNodeValue(String)` instead.
org.apache.axiom.om.OMAttribute.setOMNamespace(OMNamespace) Use `OMNamedInformationItem.setNamespace(OMNamespace, boolean)` instead.
org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MTOMXMLStreamWriter.writeOptimized(OMText) Serialization code should use `XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandler, String, boolean)` or `XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandlerProvider, String, boolean)` to submit any binary content and let this writer decide whether the content should be written as base64 encoded character data or using `xop:Include`. If this is not possible, then `MTOMXMLStreamWriter.prepareDataHandler(DataHandler)` should be used.
org.apache.axiom.om.util.ElementHelper.writeTextTo(OMElement, Writer, boolean) Use `OMElement.writeTextTo(Writer, boolean)` instead.
