Terminally Deprecated Elements

Element	Description
org.springframework.security.core.SpringSecurityCoreVersion.SERIAL_VERSION_UID	Please have each class use its own serialization version

Deprecated Interfaces

Interface	Description
org.springframework.security.access.AccessDecisionManager	Use AuthorizationManager instead
org.springframework.security.access.AccessDecisionVoter	Use AuthorizationManager instead
org.springframework.security.access.AfterInvocationProvider	Use delegation with AuthorizationManager
org.springframework.security.access.annotation.AnnotationMetadataExtractor	Used only by now-deprecated classes. Consider SecuredAuthorizationManager for `@Secured` methods.
org.springframework.security.access.ConfigAttribute	In modern Spring Security APIs, each API manages its own configuration context. As such there is no direct replacement for this interface. In the case of method security, please see SecurityAnnotationScanner and AuthorizationManager. In the case of channel security, please see HttpsRedirectFilter. In the case of web security, please see AuthorizationManager.
org.springframework.security.access.intercept.AfterInvocationManager	Use delegation with AuthorizationManager
org.springframework.security.access.intercept.aspectj.AspectJCallback	This class will be removed from the public API. Please either use `spring-security-aspects`, Spring Security's method security support or create your own class that uses Spring AOP annotations.
org.springframework.security.access.intercept.RunAsManager	Authentication is now separated from authorization in Spring Security. This class is only used by now-deprecated components. There is not yet an equivalent replacement in Spring Security.
org.springframework.security.access.method.MethodSecurityMetadataSource	Use the use-authorization-manager attribute for <method-security> and <intercept-methods> instead or use annotation-based or AuthorizationManager-based authorization
org.springframework.security.access.prepost.PostInvocationAttribute	Use AuthorizationManagerAfterMethodInterceptor instead
org.springframework.security.access.prepost.PostInvocationAuthorizationAdvice	Use AuthorizationManagerAfterMethodInterceptor instead
org.springframework.security.access.prepost.PreInvocationAttribute	Use AuthorizationManagerBeforeMethodInterceptor instead
org.springframework.security.access.prepost.PreInvocationAuthorizationAdvice	Use AuthorizationManagerBeforeMethodInterceptor instead
org.springframework.security.access.prepost.PrePostInvocationAttributeFactory	Use delegation with AuthorizationManager
org.springframework.security.access.SecurityMetadataSource	In modern Spring Security APIs, each API manages its own configuration context. As such there is no direct replacement for this interface. In the case of method security, please see SecurityAnnotationScanner and AuthorizationManager. In the case of channel security, please see HttpsRedirectFilter. In the case of web security, please see AuthorizationManager.
