JDK-4139481 - java.io.PrintStream: Un-deprecate the constructors
Description

Name: tb29552			Date: 08/30/99


We are wanting to redirect our error messages to a file.  I found th
e
class LogStream but it is Deprecated with no replacement.  Can you tell
me if I should use something else?  If nothing else can be used is there
a reason I should not use the LogStream?

According to this web page:
  http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/rmi/server/LogStream.html
LogStream is still deprecated in J2SDK1.3beta.

The parent class (java.io.PrintStream) was deprecated for
a few releases but has been brought back to full status:
  http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/io/PrintStream.html

Refer to Bug Id: 4139481

WORK AROUND Name: tb29552 Date: 08/30/99 Use java.io.PrintStream? ====================================================================== You can still use LogStream, but we'd rather not endorse it. Instead, you can use PrintStream, or layer your own custom logging stream on top of PrintStream.
