1 Upgrading WebLogic Server 6.x to Version 7.0
1-34 BEA WebLogic Server 7.0 Upgrade Guide
Deprecated APIs and Features
 WebLogic Time Services is deprecated and should be replaced by JMX Timer
Service. For documentation of JMX Timer Service, see Interface TimerMBean
and Class Timer.
 WebLogic Workspaces
 Zero Administration Client (ZAC) is deprecated in this release of WebLogic
Server 7.0. It is replaced by JavaWebStart.
 WebLogic Enterprise Connectivity (WLEC) is deprecated in this release of
WebLogic Server 7.0. Tuxedo CORBA applications using WLEC should migrate
to WebLogic Tuxedo Connector. For more information, see WebLogic Tuxedo
Connector.
 weblogic.deploy is deprecated in this release of WebLogic Server 7.0 and has
been replaced by
weblogic.Deployer. For more information, see Deployment
Tools and Procedures in WebLogic Server Deployment.
 This version of WebLogic Server deprecates deploying multiple J2EE modules
without an
application.xml file. If you select a directory for deployment, the
directory must contain either one standalone J2EE module (an EJB, Web
Application, or Resource Adapter), or multiple modules with an associated
application.xml file (an Enterprise Application).
 This release provides a standard method for resource adapter deployers to plug
in their specified authorization/authentication mechanism through secure
password credential storage. This WebLogic Server storage mechanism has
replaced the Security Principal Mapping mechanism provided with the
weblogic-ra.xml deployment descriptor within the resource adapter archive.
As a result, the element has been deprecated.
 The Password Converter Tool provided with the previous release of WebLogic
Server has been deprecated.
 The <connection-cleanup-frequency> and <connection-duration-time>
elements in the
weblogic-ra.xml deployment descriptor have been deprecated in
favor of a new connection leak detection mechanism.
 WebLogic Server 7.0 deprecates the single-phase deployment model used in
WebLogic Server 6.x. All WebLogic 6.x deployment protocol APIs and tools are
now deprecated and should not be used for deploying production applications.
