             Summary: Remove deprecated dimension attributes from OperationMethod
                 Key: SIS-585
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-585
             Project: Spatial Information Systems
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Referencing
    Affects Versions: 1.3, 1.2, 1.1
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
            Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
             Fix For: 1.4


The following methods are derived from {{CC_OperationMethod}} attributes present in ISO 19111:2007 but removed in ISO 19111:2019 (note that {{MathTransform}} has attributes of the same name, which are not affected):

* {{getSourceDimensions()}}
* {{getTargetDimensions()}}

Those methods have been deprecated in SIS 1.1, but they were still there in SIS 1.2 and 1.3 because removing those attributes actually implies an amount of changes much larger than only the {{DefaultOperationMethod}} class. Now it is time to remove those attributes, because they are blocking other tasks such as SIS-584. The reason for that is because the management of the number of dimensions of an {{OperationMethod}} is actually a difficult task, which required hacks in the way we discover providers with {{java.util.ServiceLoader}}.

Removing above-cited methods (actually make them returning {{null}} in most cases but not all) allow the removal of non-trivial code and SQL queries in {{EPSGFactory}} which were trying to discover the number of dimensions of an operation method. Various other classes got significant complexity removal too.
