Legacy class & depracted class

[Manish Thapliyal]

Please explain me the differnce between deprecated class & legacy class.
When a class is called depreacted class & when it is called legacy class.

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi there,

Deprecated is 'formally' used when a class/method has actually be replaced by a new preferred way of doing things. Keeping the deprecated method is often used for maintaining backwards compatibility.

Legacy classes are classes that should no longer be used and are 'obsolete' but are still around because they are usually used internally by Java itself (e.g. They are classes that you don't directly interact with, but Java itself does).

My explanation perhaps isn't the clearest, so hopefully some others will pop in and answer as well.

Hope that helps!

Calling a class or method "deprecated" is more assertive than "legacy;" it is something one ought not use at all, rather than simply "old-fashioned."

I think you have had answers; if they didn't explain your particular problem you ought to have asked again.
