Hi,
Since we decided to switch to Java 1.5, I found a nice use for
annotations.
We can detect usage of deprecated APIs in java, but it is hard to do
in
velocity. One way we can accomplish this is by writing our own
velocity
uberspector, that checks if a method call is deprecated or not, and
logs
the calls to deprecated methods. This will allow us to easily spot
deprecated code in our templates and fix them.
The drawback is that it could slow things down a bit.
The advantage is that as long as we properly use annotations, any
deprecated method used will be listed in the log.
Sure that's a good idea. We had discussed this some time ago. The
novelty is that we can now use annotations so we can use runtime
annotations for this.
I'm +1 for it. I don't think it should cause performance issues.
Thanks
