Deprecated Networking Components |
 | ||
|
The LLP client and server components described in these sections are included for legacy backward compatibility only. They are not supported for new application development. If you are developing a new application, use Iguana as the transport mechanism for sending messages over LLP, and use the Iguana plugin API to define an interface between your application and the Iguana server. For more details on using plugins in Iguana, see Working With Plugins. For reasons why you should use Iguana instead of Chameleon for your LLP solution, see Why Choose Iguana Over Chameleon?. | ||

The legacy LLP networking components (found in versions prior to 3.3.146) are deprecated and have been removed from the standard installation for versions 4.0 and 4.1. They have since been replaced with new LLP networking components (found in versions 3.3.146 and above). As a result, any existing applications being upgraded to version 4.0 and above must be modified to use the new components.
However, starting in version 4.5.1, the legacy networking components were re-added to the standard installation to assist customers with older C++ and Java applications still in circulation (Delphi, C# and Visual Basic components were not re-added). This makes it easier for customers who have significant legacy code bases to upgrade to the latest version of Chameleon.
The table below lists the deprecated networking components for each supported language. In addition, it lists the Chameleon versions affected by the changes:
