Hi all,
When splitting the XSP block from the core, the getCookie() method that
existed (and still exists) on XSPCookieHelper method was copied to
ObjectModelHelper as it was also used by *one* class outside of the XSP
block, which is DatabaseCookieAuthenticatorAction.
This method has IMO really nothing to do there as ObjectModelHelper is
meant to provide high-level access methods to the object model and
furthermore the contract of this getCookie() method is weird (mixes
named and positional access to cookies).
So I would like to have it removed.
Now it was part of the 2.1.7 release, meaning some people may have used
it, despite its weirdness. So I would like to deprecate it at a high
level (i.e. error rather than the standard warning) in 2.1.8 and
completely remove it in 2.2.
Thoughts?
Sylvain
