Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Use AspectJ aspects for implementing backward compatibility in XWiki

Done: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2059 The mechanism is now in place. See the aspect here: http://tinyurl.com/2bgrxj Thanks -Vincent On Feb 4, 2008, at 9:44 AM, Vincent Massol wrote:

Hi,

I'd like us to agree on using the strategy described here: http://blogs.sonatype.com/john/2007/11/09/1194630418546.html

This has several advantages:

1) Keeps our code clean 2) Put all backward compatibility code in a single place which makes it easy too to remove when the time has come

Here's my +1

If we agree I'll do a try of using this approach for moving out the deprecated methods in the XWiki class into an aspect. It should be a piece of cake since we already have the aspectj plugin in place for the core build.

Thanks -Vincent
