Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details ??

ok, I have done that and I have a arrow at
Images.getinstance.
How do  I proceed? Thanks for the help.

A

These are the packages I have imported:

import Bean.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.awt.Color;

import java.io.*;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPTable;

There seems to be a issue with the pdf pacage. The errrs I am getting are at:
new Font(Font.HELVETICA,9,Font.BOLD);
FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 12
,Font.ITALIC);
               
Any suggestions pls...

What type of object is   Images ?
Please show us some code.    

The initial part of the script is a follows:

public class Invoice_PDF extends HttpServlet

      /**

I have never used iText. I don't know if I can help you. But maybe an expert will comment.
At the online API, I see
getInstance(Properties) - Static method in class com.lowagie.text.Image
Deprecated. use ElementFactory.getImage(attributes)

Where in your code is  ?
>Images.getinstance.          

>There seems to be a issue with the pdf pacage. The errrs I am getting are at:  
What errors ?

If I were you, I would open a question in the Java zone.  You should put iText in the title and see if you can get help from an expert that uses iText.  You can request to have this question deleted.

oops! sorry forgot to add that part of the code'

Ok, I will go ahead and post this in the java zone. Thank you for your time and sugggestions.

I should share in the points.  My first comment is just as useful as object's comment.
