Deprecate MultiActionController and Controller*NameHandlerMapping [SPR-14128]

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-14128 and commented

4.3 is our opportunity to deprecate outdated MVC infrastructure classes which we do not intend to support as of 5.0 anymore: in particular, the entire web.servlet.mvc.multiaction package and the controller-name based mapping implementations in web.servlet.mvc.support, as well as the outdated handler method infrastructure in web.bind.annotation.support (even if it keeps being used in Portlet MVC for the time being).
