Deprecated List

Deprecated Interfaces
Interface and Description
org.springframework.jdbc.core.simple.SimpleJdbcOperations since Spring 3.1 in favor of `JdbcOperations` and `NamedParameterJdbcOperations`. The JdbcTemplate and NamedParameterJdbcTemplate now provide all the functionality of the SimpleJdbcTemplate.

Deprecated Classes
Class and Description
