<title>Migration to RESTEasy 3.5 series</title>
  <para>
    RESTEasy 3.5 series is a spin-off of the old RESTEasy 3.0 series, featuring JAX-RS 2.1 implementation.
  </para>
  <para>
    The reason why 3.5 comes from 3.0 instead of the 3.1 / 4.0 development streams is basically providing
    users with a selection of RESTEasy 4 critical / strategic new features, while ensuring full backward
    compatiblity. As a consequence, no major issues are expected when upgrading RESTEasy from 3.0.x to 3.5.x.
  </para>
  <para>
    The natural upgrade path for users already on RESTEasy 3.1 series is straight to RESTEasy 4 instead.

    <para>
    In this chapter we focus on changes that might cause existing code to fail or behave in new ways.
    The audience for this discussion may be partitioned into three subsets, depending on the version
    of RESTEasy currently in use, the API currently in use, and the API to be used after an upgrade
    to RESTEasy 3.1. The following APIs are available:
    </para>
    
    <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
      <para><emphasis role="bold">RESTEasy 2</emphasis>: RESTEasy 2 conforms to the JAX-RS 1 specification, and adds a
      variety of additional facilities, such as a client API, a caching system, an interceptor framework, etc. 
      All of these user facing classes and interfaces comprise the RESTEasy 2 API.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
      <para><emphasis role="bold">RESTEasy 3</emphasis>: RESTEasy 3 conforms to the JAX-RS 2 specification, and adds some additional
      facilities. Many of the non-spec facilities from the RESTEasy 2 API are formalized, in altered form,
      in JAX-RS 2, in which case the older facilites are deprecated. The non-deprecated user facing classes and interfaces in
      RESTEasy 3 comprise the RESTEasy 3 API.</para>
      </listitem>
    </orderedlist>
    
    <para>
    These definitions are rather informal and imprecise, since the user facing classes / interfaces in Resteasy
    3.0.19.Final, for example, are a proper superset of the user facing classes / interfaces in RESTEasy 3.0.1.Final.
    For this discussion, we identify the API with the version currently in use in a given project.
    </para>
    
    <para>
    Now, there are three potential target audiences of users planning to upgrade to RESTEasy 3.1.0.Final:
    </para>
    
    <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
      <para>Those currently using RESTEasy API 3 with some RESTEasy 3.0.x release</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
      <para>Those currently using RESTEasy API 2 with some RESTEasy 2.x or 3.0.x release and planning
      to upgrade to RESTEasy API 3</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
      <para>Those currently using RESTEasy API 2 with some RESTEasy 2.x or 3.0.x release and planning
      to continue to use RESTEasy API 2</para>
      </listitem>
    </orderedlist>
    
    <para>
    Of these, users in Group 2 have the most work to do in upgrading from RESTEasy API 2 to RESTEasy API 3.
    They should consult the separate guide
    <ulink url="http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/resteasy-upgrade-guide-en-US.pdf">Upgrading from RESTEasy 2 to RESTEasy 3</ulink>.
    </para>

    <para>
    Ideally, users in Groups 1 and 3 might make some changes to take advantage of new features but would have
    no changes forced on them by reorganization or altered behavior. Indeed, that is almost the case, but there
    are a few changes that they should be aware of.

      <para>
      Prior to release 3.1.0.Final, the default behavior of RESTEasy was to use GZIP to compress and decompress messages
      whenever "gzip" appeared in the Content-Encoding header.
      However, decompressing messages can lead to security issues, so, as of release 3.1.0.Final, GZIP compression has to
      be enabled explicitly. For details, see Chapter <link linkend='gzip'>GZIP Compression/Decompression</link>.

      This issue is related to refactoring deprecated elements of the RESTEasy 2 API into a separate module, and, ideally,
      would have no bearing at all on RESTEasy 3. However, a reorganization of packages has led to moving some
      non-deprecated API elements in the resteasy-jaxrs module:

    <title>Upgrading with RESTEasy 2 API</title>
    
    <para>
    Most of the deprecated classes and interfaces
    from RESTEasy 2 have been segregated in a separate module, resteasy-legacy, as of release 3.1.0.Final.
    A few remain in module resteasy-jaxrs for technical reasons. Eventually, all such classes and interfaces will be
    removed from RESTEasy. Most of the relocated elements are internal, so ensuring that resteasy-legacy is on the
    classpath will make most changes undetectable. One way to do that, of course, is to include it in an application's
    WAR. In the context of WildFly, it is also possible to use a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file in the 
    WEB-INF directory of your WAR file. For example:
    </para>
    
        <programlisting><![CDATA[
<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
        <dependencies>
            <module name="org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-legacy"/>
        </dependencies>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>]]></programlisting>

    <para>
    There are a few API classes and interfaces from resteasy-jaxrs that have moved to a new package
    in resteasy-legacy. These are
