Deprecated Methods

Some methods in the ODKUtility class were supported in earlier versions but are no longer supported. These deprecated methods will not generate errors, but IBM recommends that you avoid their use and migrate existing code to the new methods. The deprecated methods might be removed in a future release.

Table 107 lists the deprecated methods for the ODKUtility class. If you are writing a new ODA (not modifying an existing ODA), you can ignore this section.

Deprecated method Replacement

All methods that support filtering:

  • filterData()
  • getFilter()
  • setFilter()

An ODA still supports filtering at the user level, but not at the programmatic level. For more information, see Using a filter. At the programmatic level, the search-pattern feature provides the ability to reduce the number of child nodes for a particular parent node. For more information, see Implementing the search-pattern feature.
