[SANTUARIO-557] Jar hell: Binary compatibility broken between 2.1.4 and 2.2.0

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open

Description

APIs in Canonicalizer:

• org.apache.xml.security.c14n.Canonicalizer.canonicalize(byte[])
  Javadoc: canonicalize
• org.apache.xml.security.c14n.Canonicalizer.canonicalizeSubtree(Document)
  Javadoc: canonicalizeSubtree

were removed after 2.1.4, creating a case of jar hell for downstream projects.

The APIs were present in version 2.1.4 but are gone in 2.2.0.

Using Maven plugins like JApiCmp can avoid this kind of problem.

This Javadoc is not even up to date: http://santuario.apache.org/Java/api/index.html
