ZK 6
Overview
In additions to new features, ZK 6 also cleans up some API that are confusing, redundant or over complicated. The effort to upgrade depends on what features your application uses. Many of them shall run without modification. It is suggested to re-compile the applications and replace the code that use the deprecated API.
Upgrade addons
Here is a list of addons that you have to upgrade:
- ZK JSP 2.0 or later. Download here.
- ZK Calendar 2.1.1 or later. Download here.
API that are changed
org.zkoss.zk.zul.api.* are removed
The component's API interfaces (org.zkoss.zk.ui.api.*, org.zkoss.zul.api.*...) are removed[1] Please replace them with the concrete classes. For example, use org.zkoss.zul.Window instead of org.zkoss.zul.api.Window.
org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.Initiator is simplified
The doAfterComposer, doCatch and doFinally methods are moved from org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.Initiator to org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.InitiatorExt. In other words, if you'd like to override any of these methods, your initiator has to implement both org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.Initiator and org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.InitiatorExt.
API that are deprecated
CSS and Theme
