Interface	Description
org.springframework.data.type.classreading.MethodsMetadataReader	since 3.0, use MetadataReader to obtain declared methods directly.
org.springframework.data.type.MethodsMetadata	since 3.0, use MetadataReader directly to obtain declared methods directly.

Deprecated Classes

Class	Description
org.springframework.data.transaction.ChainedTransactionManager	since 2.5
org.springframework.data.type.classreading.MethodsMetadataReaderFactory	since 3.0. Use SimpleMetadataReaderFactory directly.
org.springframework.data.util.ClassTypeInformation	since 3.0 to go package protected at some point. Refer to TypeInformation only.

Deprecated Annotation Interfaces

Annotation Interface	Description
org.springframework.data.annotation.PersistenceConstructor	in favor of PersistenceCreator since 3.0, to be removed in 3.1

Deprecated Fields

Field	Description
org.springframework.data.util.ClassTypeInformation.COLLECTION
org.springframework.data.util.ClassTypeInformation.LIST
org.springframework.data.util.ClassTypeInformation.MAP
org.springframework.data.util.ClassTypeInformation.OBJECT
org.springframework.data.util.ClassTypeInformation.SET

Deprecated Methods

Method	Description
org.springframework.data.mapping.model.MappingInstantiationException.getConstructor()	since 3.0, use MappingInstantiationException.getEntityCreator() instead.
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentEntity.getPersistenceConstructor()	since 3.0, use PersistentEntity.getInstanceCreatorMetadata().
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentEntity.isConstructorArgument(PersistentProperty<?>)	since 3.0, use PersistentEntity.isCreatorArgument(PersistentProperty) instead.
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentPropertyAccessor.getProperty(PersistentPropertyPath<? extends PersistentProperty<?>>)	since 2.3, use PersistentPropertyPathAccessor.getProperty(PersistentPropertyPath) instead
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentPropertyAccessor.getProperty(PersistentPropertyPath<? extends PersistentProperty<?>>, TraversalContext)	since 2.3, use PersistentPropertyPathAccessor.getProperty(PersistentPropertyPath, org.springframework.data.mapping.AccessOptions.GetOptions) instead.
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentPropertyAccessor.setProperty(PersistentPropertyPath<? extends PersistentProperty<?>>, Object)	since 2.3, use PersistentPropertyPathAccessor.setProperty(PersistentPropertyPath, Object) instead.
org.springframework.data.mapping.PreferredConstructor.isConstructorParameter(PersistentProperty<?>)	since 3.0, use InstanceCreatorMetadata.isCreatorParameter(PersistentProperty) instead.
org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryBeanDefinitionRegistrarSupport.registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata, BeanDefinitionRegistry)	since 2.2, call RepositoryBeanDefinitionRegistrarSupport.registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata, BeanDefinitionRegistry, BeanNameGenerator) instead.
org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryConfigurationExtensionSupport.getModulePrefix()	since 3.0, refer to RepositoryConfigurationExtension.getModuleIdentifier() instead and implement either RepositoryConfigurationExtensionSupport.getModuleName() directly or both methods if the default translation from name to identifier as defined in RepositoryConfigurationExtension.getModuleIdentifier() doesn't suit you.
org.springframework.data.repository.core.support.RepositoryFactorySupport.getTargetRepositoryViaReflection(Class<?>, Object...)	since 2.6 because it has a misleading name. Use RepositoryFactorySupport.instantiateClass(Class, Object...) instead.
org.springframework.data.repository.util.ClassUtils.getNumberOfOccurences(Method, Class<?>)	Use ClassUtils.getNumberOfOccurrences(Method, Class).
org.springframework.data.util.ClassTypeInformation.from(Class<S>)	since 3.0. Use TypeInformation.of(org.springframework.core.ResolvableType) instead.
org.springframework.data.util.ClassTypeInformation.fromReturnTypeOf(Method)	since 3.0. Use TypeInformation.fromReturnTypeOf(Method) instead.
org.springframework.data.util.TypeInformation.specialize(ClassTypeInformation<?>)	since 3.0. Use TypeInformation.specialize(TypeInformation) instead, i.e. switch the given parameter's type to TypeInformation in the first place.

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor	Description
org.springframework.data.querydsl.QPageRequest(int, int)	since 2.1, use QPageRequest.of(int, int) instead.
org.springframework.data.querydsl.QPageRequest(int, int, OrderSpecifier<?>...)	since 2.1, use QPageRequest.of(int, int, OrderSpecifier...) instead.
org.springframework.data.querydsl.QPageRequest(int, int, QSort)	since 2.1, use QPageRequest.of(int, int, QSort) instead.
org.springframework.data.repository.config.AnnotationRepositoryConfigurationSource(AnnotationMetadata, Class<? extends Annotation>, ResourceLoader, Environment, BeanDefinitionRegistry)	since 2.2. Prefer to use overload taking a BeanNameGenerator additionally.
