Changes to Guidewire Java API in 9.0.0

PolicyCenter version 8.0 introduced the Guidewire Java API version 8.0. The Guidewire Java API version 7.0 was deprecated.

PolicyCenter version 9.0 introduces the Guidewire Java API version 9.0. The upgrade path for your code depends on your previous version:

• The Guidewire Java API version 7.0 remains deprecated but available in PolicyCenter 9.0. Guidewire strongly recommends that you upgrade your Java code to use the Guidewire Java API version 9.0 to avoid future upgrade issues. Additionally, Gosu code that accessed Java code that used the Java API version 7.0 was upgraded automatically for different default behavior. See Changes to Gosu code that accesses Java API version 7.0 types.
• The Guidewire Java API version 8.0 is removed and unavailable in PolicyCenter 9.0. You must upgrade your Java code from PolicyCenter 8.0 to use the Guidewire Java API version 9.0, or your code will not compile. See Java API changes for entity and typelist data.
