DeprecationData (WildFly: Controller Core 26.0.0.Beta1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.jboss.as.controller.DeprecationData

```
public final class DeprecationData
extends Object
```
Encapsulates information about the deprecation of a management resource, attribute or operation.
Notifying users about deprecated items: Some code that uses this class may choose to proactively notify users (e.g. with a log message) when the deprecated item is used. The isNotificationUseful() method should be checked before emitting any such notification. Notifying the user should only be done if the user can take some action in response. Advising that something will be removed in a later release is not useful if there is no alternative in the current release. If the isNotificationUseful() method returns true the text description of the deprecated item available from the relevant read-XXX-description management operation should provide useful information about how the user can avoid using the deprecated item.
