Deprecated Functionality

Discontinued functionality initially remains in INUBIT and can continue to be used. However, no further development or updates will be made to it.

This functionality may be removed in an upcoming release. Therefore, switch to one of the recommended alternatives as soon as possible.

Also have a look into the list of removed functionality.

8.1.10

Application - AS4 Gateway, Application - Process Engine

Support for MySQL v5.x database versions is being discontinued. This affects all versions 5.7 and older.

Upgrade to a newer version of the database as soon as possible.

Impacts:

Connector - REST

Support for path parameter names in REST connectors that contain a "." (period) is deprecated and discontinued. This functionality can still be used but may be removed in a future version.

Recommendation: Update path parameter names so they no longer contain a "." (period).

Impacts:

Plugins - SDK

The class IBISTracer has been marked as deprecated. It was previously used to log information.

In the future, only SLF4J will be used to log all information. The corresponding version of SLF4J is provided in the ibis_tools.jar.

Impacts:

  • Plugins - SDK

Process Engine - REST API

The functionality that allowed sending a request with the query parameter method=<HTTP method>, thereby overriding the HTTP method at the endpoint, is being discontinued.

For example: POST http(s)://[ServerName]:[Port]/ibis/rest/rc/listener1?method=PUT

This forces the server to treat the incoming POST request as a PUT request.

The functionality can still be used, but it will be removed with the INUBIT 9.0 release.

Recommendation: Access the endpoints using the HTTP method with which they are provided in the REST API.

Impacts:

Utility - Data Stream Analyser

The Data Stream Analyzer can be forced to use MimeUtil to detect the MIME type using the special module property "datastreamanalyzer.mode." This module property is being deprecated and will be removed with a future INUBIT version.

Alternative: - Remove this module property and use the standard detector (Apache Tika)

Impacts:

Utility - JSON Validator

The "Legacy Validator" mode is being discontinued. Switch to the "Modern Validator" mode soon to get support for all common JSON formats and an expanded range of configuration options.

Impacts:

8.1.4

Application - AS4 Gateway, Application - CLI, Application - Process Engine, Application - Remote Connector, Application - Workbench

Support for INUBIT on the Windows 7, Windows Server 2016 and 2019 operating systems will be discontinued. The versions can still be used, but INUBIT will no longer be tested on it and problems will not be fixed.
