[Geoserver-devel] process reorg and deprecation

Hi all,

To compliment the recent geotools process reorg (see geotools-devel) i have created a corresponding pull request for geoserver:

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/18

Included is a single “DeprecatedProcessFactory” that handles the old process names in order to maintain backward compatibility.

Feedback welcomed.

Looks good to me, I have a question about what gets exposed thought.
By the looks of the patch it seems the old process names keep on getting exposed in the capabilities
and so on, but with a title that says the processes are deprecated.
It may be good to tell users that the processes will be removed in a certain version of GeoServer, and
given we have the mappings, what process replaces the one at hand:

“JTS:area is deprecated and will be removed in GeoServer 2.4.0, please use geo:area instead”

Cheers
Andrea
