Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
org.apache.tiles.awareness.AbstractTilesApplicationContextFactoryAware Since AbstractTilesApplicationContextFactory is deprecated, this dependency injection interface is deprecated.
org.apache.tiles.definition.Definitions This interface is never used, except in the deprecated class DefinitionsImpl.
org.apache.tiles.evaluator.el.ExpressionFactoryFactory Use ExpressionFactoryFactory.
org.apache.tiles.Initializable Parameter-based initialization feature is deprecated and no longer supported.
org.apache.tiles.definition.ReloadableDefinitionsFactory Use Refreshable.
org.apache.tiles.context.TilesContextFactory Use TilesRequestContextFactory.

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
org.apache.tiles.context.AbstractTilesApplicationContextFactory Create an instance of TilesApplicationContext yourself, by implementing TilesInitializer or extending AbstractTilesInitializer and overriding createTilesApplicationContext method.
org.apache.tiles.context.BasicAttributeContext Use BasicAttributeContext.
org.apache.tiles.startup.BasicTilesInitializer Don't use it, please extend AbstractTilesInitializer.
org.apache.tiles.impl.mgmt.CachingKeyedDefinitionsFactoryTilesContainer Register different containers using TilesAccess.setContainer( org.apache.tiles.TilesApplicationContext, org.apache.tiles.TilesContainer, String) and using CachingTilesContainer as container implementation.
org.apache.tiles.context.ChainedTilesApplicationContextFactory Create an instance of TilesApplicationContext yourself, by implementing TilesInitializer or extending AbstractTilesInitializer and overriding createTilesApplicationContext method. Moreover, it does not make sense to "try" if your application is servlet-based, portlet-based, etc. You know it, right?
org.apache.tiles.context.ChainedTilesContextFactory Use ChainedTilesApplicationContextFactory and ChainedTilesRequestContextFactory.
