org.openejb.client vs org.apache.openejb.client

[Dave Meibusch <Da...@intecbilling.com>]

Hi,
I'm using the openejb-client in my EJB test cases, but was confused for a 
while with the correct package name.

All the openejb examples appear to have org.apache.openejb.client, but the 
3.0-SNAPSHOT jar (via Maven) or openejb-client has org.openejb.client 
package (for RemoteInitialContextFactory in particular).

Which is correct?

thanks,
Dave Meibusch

This is probably the easiest answer, here is the source code:

     package org.openejb.client;
     /**
      * @deprecated use  
org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory
      */
     public class RemoteInitialContextFactory extends  
org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory {
     }

When we moved to Apache we repackaged all the code and re-added  
subclasses of a few key classes for backwards compatibility with  
older apps.  The old apps still need the new openejb-client jar, but  
should be able to swap it out without having to update any source.

If you're writing a new app, using  
org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory is recommended.
