Incorrect deprecation of ItemStreamSupport

[hpoettker]

Starting with Spring Batch 5, the whole abstract class ItemStreamSupport is deprecated and marked for removal.

For the methods close, open, and update, the default implementations of ItemStream yield a one-to-one replacement, respectively. ItemStreamSupport also has the methods setName, setExecutionContextName, and getExecutionContextKey, for which no replacements exist as far as I can tell.

Is there a replacement available for the latter methods? Or are only the methods that are inherited from ItemStream planned to be removed? If so, why not remove them without deprecation?

Thank you for pointing this. That's correct, only the methods open, close and update should deprecated, not the entire class. This will be fixed for 5.0 GA.
