Summary

Restores and deprecates a constant RMIConnectorServer.CREDENTIALS_ TYPES that was added in JDK 9 and removed in JDK 10 without having been deprecated.

Problem

RMIConnectorServer.CREDENTIALS_ TYPES was removed from JDK 10 without deprecating.

Solution

Restoring RMIConnectorServer.CREDENTIAL_TYPES. Marking RMIConnectorServer.CREDENTIAL_TYPES as deprecated because it is superseded by RMIConnectorServer.CREDENTIALS_FILTER_PATTERN.

Specification

     /**
+     * Name of the attribute that specifies a list of class names acceptable
+     * as parameters to the {@link RMIServer#newClient(java.lang.Object) RMIServer.newClient()}
+     * remote method call.
+     * <p>
+     * This list of classes should correspond to the transitive closure of the
+     * credentials class (or classes) used by the installed {@linkplain JMXAuthenticator}
+     * associated with the {@linkplain RMIServer} implementation.
+     * <p>
+     * If the attribute is not set, or is null, then any class is
+     * deemed acceptable.
+     *
+     * @deprecated Use {@link #CREDENTIALS_FILTER_PATTERN} with a
+     * {@linkplain java.io.ObjectInputFilter.Config#createFilter
+     * filter pattern} string instead.
