patch

This class is marked for removal. There is an equivalent exception.
One issue is that there are a fair number of methods that throw the old exception and it's possible that it would be too much impact for us to remove the class.
I have a patch that demonstrates the impact on src/java.
If there are any concerns, please raise them.
If there are no objections, I will proceed with the removal
Comment 1 PJ Fanning 2017-06-29 08:40:51 UTC
Looking at the diff again, I don't think the impact is as large as I had initially thought.
The change is https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1800249 - if there are any concerns, I can revert some or all of the change.
