Hi,

I am using BIRT 2.5.1 and i am using method getSerializer() from the type ChartEngine to retrieve the Serializer interface, used for loading/saving chart design from/to an XML stream.

I am getting is deprecated eclipe message that getSerializer() method is deprecated. Is there any update to this method.

I am not getting any errors or exception. But just curious to know if there is updated method for this.

Thank You,

Hi Sachin,<br />
<br />
I can also see in the 2.5.0 JavaDoc for ChartEngine that getSerializer was Deprecated without listing a replacement. You might log a bug at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/bug-reporting/'>Eclipse BugZilla</a> to see if there is a replacement. I didn't find any related bugs with a quick search I did there.
