== Deprecating a Component
Sometimes it may be desirable to deprecate a component. Whenever this occurs the developer may use the
@DeprecationNotice annotation to indicate that a component has been deprecated, aloowing the developer
to describe a reason for the deprecation and suggest alternative components. An example of how to do this can
be found below:
[source, java]
----
@DeprecationNotice(alternatives = {ListenSyslog.class}, classNames = {"org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.ListenRELP"}, reason = "Technologyhas been superseded", )
public class ListenOldProtocol extends AbstractProcessor {
----
As you can see, the alternatives can be used to define and array of alternative Components, while classNames can be
used to represent the similar content through an array of strings.
