Details

I noticed that this method was first introduced from dubbo2.7.5 and annotated as deprecated. May I ask why so many versions have passed and not been discarded now? If discarded later, what is the alternative solution

@Deprecated
public void setApplication(ApplicationConfig application) {
    this.application = application;
    if (application != null) {
        this.getConfigManager().setApplication(application);
    }
}
