How to avoid deprecated messages in the logs?

Version 1.1 by Vincent Massol on 2013/07/24

You may be seeing a lot of messages such as:

2013-07-24 10:38:45,085 [http://docstestsite.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/register/XWiki/Register] WARN  o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine  - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiMessageTool.get] in docstestsite:Panels.Search@2,25

There are 2 solutions to remove them:

  • Solution 1: Fix deprecation usages emoticon_wink
  • Solution 2: Configure XWiki to not log deprecated calls. You do this by editing your WEB-INF/xwiki.properties and adding:
    velocity.properties = runtime.introspector.uberspect.chainClasses = org.apache.velocity.util.introspection.SecureUberspector\,org.xwiki.velocity.introspection.MethodArgumentsUberspector
