Can we use @PiggybackShadowVariable(shadowVariableName = "...") along with @ShadowVariable(supplierName="...")

[PraveenGandhi]

Hello Team,

As the Listener based approach is depricated as of 1.27.0, can we use @PiggybackShadowVariable(shadowVariableName = "...") along with @ShadowVariable(supplierName="..."), @Shadowsources("...")?

Thank you,
Praveen.

Hello @PraveenGandhi!

With the introduction of declarative shadow variables, @PiggybackShadowVariable lost most of its meaning. DSV cannot be used together with piggybacks, and the only place where piggybacks are useful is together with the cascading shadow variable.

For now, we are keeping piggybacks as not deprecated, but that may change in the future.

I understand. Thank you for quick response.

As we were looking into this, we noticed that piggybacks do not even work with cascading variables. Therefore we will be deprecating piggybacks altogether.
