How to avoid deprecated messages in the logs?
Version 9.1 by Vincent Massol on 2014/02/13
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.
- Solution 2: Configure XWiki to not log deprecated calls. You do this by editing your WEB-INF/xwiki.properties and by uncommenting the line that starts with velocity.properties = runtime.introspector.uberspect.chainClasses =[...]. Then after the last equal sign, remove the org.xwiki.velocity.introspection.DeprecatedCheckUberspector\, part, leaving the other Uberspectors.
Fixing Deprecation Usage Examples
One typical occurrence is when there's the following in Velocity code:
$msg.get(...
It should be changed to either:
$services.localization.render(...
or even better use the Translation Macro whenever possible.
