Method	Description
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.isRequestedSessionIdFromUrl()	As of Version 2.1 of the Java Servlet API, use HttpServletRequest.isRequestedSessionIdFromURL() instead.
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper.isRequestedSessionIdFromUrl()	As of Version 4.0 of the Java Servlet API, use HttpServletRequestWrapper.isRequestedSessionIdFromURL() instead.
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.encodeRedirectUrl(String)	As of version 2.1, use encodeRedirectURL(String url) instead
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.encodeUrl(String)	As of version 2.1, use encodeURL(String url) instead

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper.encodeUrl(String)	As of version 2.1, use HttpServletResponseWrapper.encodeURL(String url) instead
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper.setStatus(int, String)	As of version 2.1, due to ambiguous meaning of the message parameter. To set a status code use HttpServletResponseWrapper.setStatus(int), to send an error with a description use HttpServletResponseWrapper.sendError(int, String)
