Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(byte[], int, int) Replaced by defineClass(String, byte[], int, int)
java.lang.String.getBytes(int, int, byte[], int) This method does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the String.getBytes() method, which uses the platform's default charset.
java.lang.Character.isSpace(char) Replaced by isWhitespace(char).
java.io.DataInputStream.readLine() This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to read lines of text is via the BufferedReader.readLine() method. Programs that use the DataInputStream class to read lines can be converted to use the BufferedReader class by replacing code of the form: DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream(in); with: BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
java.net.URLStreamHandler.setURL(URL, String, String, int, String, String) Use setURL(URL, String, String, int, String, String, String, String);
