Is this true? yes, the ValueExpression comes from the unified el, which is part of JSP 2.1 If so, is it ok to have an API that takes ValueBinding in trunk and ValueExpression in 1.2*branch? In other words, does the 1.2* branch of Trinidad have to keep backward compatibility, thus I would have a deprecated constructor that takes ValueBinding and another constructor that takes ValueExpression. I think doing the two constructors, where one takes VBinding and is deprecated is OK. JSF API itself also keeps the "old" methods for backward compatibility and adds new APIs that work w/ the javax.el clazzes Yeah, I was wondering what our policy is for backward compatibility between ValueExpression and ValueBinding. I see we do it in some places (e.g., FacesBean) but not others (e.g., DateTimeRangeValidator). -M Thanks, Jeanne
