114934 - deprecate APIs that are superseded by JCA

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(JSS Graveyard :: Documentation, defect, P2)

Description

[Jamie Nicolson]

After implementing JCA, deprecate all the classes and methods whose functionality can be obtained through the JCA.

Comment 1

[Jamie Nicolson]

I doubt many APIs can be deprecated, since much of our JCA support doesn't work.

Comment 2

[Jamie Nicolson]

This is even more tricky. Now our JCA providers use these interfaces internally,
so if we deprecate them, our own code is using deprecated interfaces. When we
finally get rid of these interfaces, we will either have to 1) leave them around
undocumented, or 2) rewrite the provider code to call something else (PK11 code
directly?).

Deprecated a bunch of classes in favor of the JCA.
