# Azure Communication CallingServer (Java) - DEPRECATED
> **⚠️ DEPRECATED**: This SDK has been renamed to **Call Automation**. For new projects, use `azure-communication-callautomation` instead. This skill is for maintaining legacy code only.
## Migration to Call Automation
```xml
<!-- OLD (deprecated) -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-communication-callingserver</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-beta.5</version>
</dependency>
<!-- NEW (use this instead) -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-communication-callautomation</artifactId>
<version>1.6.0</version>
</dependency>
```
## Class Name Changes
| CallingServer (Old) | Call Automation (New) |
|---------------------|----------------------|
| `CallingServerClient` | `CallAutomationClient` |
| `CallingServerClientBuilder` | `CallAutomationClientBuilder` |
| `CallConnection` | `CallConnection` (same) |
| `ServerCall` | Removed - use `CallConnection` |
## Legacy Client Creation
```java
// OLD WAY (deprecated)
import com.azure.communication.callingserver.CallingServerClient;
import com.azure.communication.callingserver.CallingServerClientBuilder;
CallingServerClient client = new CallingServerClientBuilder()
.connectionString("<connection-string>")
.buildClient();
// NEW WAY
import com.azure.communication.callautomation.CallAutomationClient;
import com.azure.communication.callautomation.CallAutomationClientBuilder;
CallAutomationClient client = new CallAutomationClientBuilder()
.connectionString("<connection-string>")
.buildClient();
```
## Legacy Recording
```java
// OLD WAY
StartRecordingOptions options = new StartRecordingOptions(serverCallId)
.setRecordingStateCallbackUri(callbackUri);
StartCallRecordingResult result = client.startRecording(options);
String recordingId = result.getRecordingId();
client.pauseRecording(recordingId);
client.resumeRecording(recordingId);
client.stopRecording(recordingId);
// NEW WAY - see azure-communication-callautomation skill
```
