ReportCaster Java Bean API Discontinued in WebFOCUS 8

Effective with WebFOCUS 8, the ReportCaster Java Bean API is discontinued and will not be distributed with WebFOCUS 8. While the ReportCaster Java Bean API is discontinued in WebFOCUS 8, applications written with the ReportCaster Java API will continue to be supported in WebFOCUS 8.

The ReportCaster Java API was introduced in WebFOCUS 5.3 to replace the ReportCaster Java Bean API introduced in WebFOCUS 5.2. At that time, it was recommended that developers use the ReportCaster Java API to build applications and that the Java Bean API would be functionally stabilized at the WebFOCUS 5.2 level. Since WebFOCUS 5.3, the ReportCaster Java API has been maintained and includes support for new features introduced in WebFOCUS 7.1.x, 7.6.x, and 7.7.x.
