Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.springframework.web.servlet.support.WebContentGenerator.applyCacheSeconds(HttpServletResponse, int, boolean) as of 4.2, in favor of WebContentGenerator.applyCacheControl(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, org.springframework.http.CacheControl)
org.springframework.web.servlet.support.WebContentGenerator.cacheForSeconds(HttpServletResponse, int) as of 4.2, in favor of WebContentGenerator.applyCacheControl(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, org.springframework.http.CacheControl)
org.springframework.web.servlet.support.WebContentGenerator.cacheForSeconds(HttpServletResponse, int, boolean) as of 4.2, in favor of WebContentGenerator.applyCacheControl(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, org.springframework.http.CacheControl)
org.springframework.web.servlet.support.WebContentGenerator.checkAndPrepare(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, boolean) as of 4.2, since the lastModified flag is effectively ignored, with a must-revalidate header only generated if explicitly configured
org.springframework.web.servlet.support.WebContentGenerator.checkAndPrepare(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, int, boolean) as of 4.2, since the lastModified flag is effectively ignored, with a must-revalidate header only generated if explicitly configured

As there is no replacement for this method, for the time being it's necessary to continue using it in order to set it to false. In 5.3 when false becomes the default, use of this property will no longer be necessary.
org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.ResourceHttpRequestHandler.getContentNegotiationManager() as of 5.2.4.
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping.getFileExtensions() as of 5.2.4. See class-level note on the deprecation of path extension config options.
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.RequestMappingInfo.BuilderConfiguration.getFileExtensions() as of 5.2.4. See class-level note in RequestMappingHandlerMapping on the deprecation of path extension config options.

org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.ResourceHttpRequestHandler.initContentNegotiationStrategy() as of 5.2.4 this method returns null, and if a sub-class returns an actual instance,the instance is used only as a source of media type mappings, if it contains any. Please, use ResourceHttpRequestHandler.setMediaTypes(Map) instead, or if you need to change behavior, you can override ResourceHttpRequestHandler.getMediaType(HttpServletRequest, Resource).
