Hi,
I'm trying to update a bit old code for a PasswordLoginModule subclass,
but I found it in the JavaDoc, that the PasswordLoginModule class is
going to be deprecated, and in fact in GFv3 trunk it is already deprecated.
The JavaDoc says this:
/**
* Abstract base class for password-based login modules.
* Newer implementations should extend
* com.sun.appserv.security.AbstractLoginModule. This class is provided for
* backward compatibility and is a candidate for deprecation.
*
*/
This is really nice, but where the heck is this AbstractLoginModule
class? I've grepped on it in v3 trunk and couldn't find it there either
nor in the 3.0.1 modules folder. Any hint on this? What is the reason
behind deprecating the PasswordLoginModule class? If I reimplement it as
an AppservPasswordLoginModule subclass (which is not deprecated), what
difference would I see against the probably non-existing
AbstractLoginModule?
//if it's now deprecated, when will this be removed from the sourcebase?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Peter
