Comment 2 David Tardon 2012-12-23 07:07:22 UTC 
The com.sun.star.document.DocumentInfo service had been deprecated since OpenOffice.org 3.0 and has finally been removed in LibreOffice 4.0. You should use com.sun.star.document.DocumentProperties instead.
Comment 3 Boudi 2012-12-23 13:01:26 UTC 
Thanks for the advice's.

What way could I have been aware of the deprecation status of com.sun.star.document.DocumentInfo?

So I can try prevent this kind of misunderstanding in the future?
Comment 4 David Tardon 2012-12-25 07:51:35 UTC 
I am afraid the only way is to check the IDL files or the generated documentation at http://api.libreoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/module-ix.html
Comment 5 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2013-01-04 14:23:33 UTC 
yes, mainly the @deprecated tags in the generated API reference.

there was also an announcement at the time, though probably few
users read that list:

oh, i forgot: hopefully the release notes list all of the *intentional*
API changes now, my expectation is that for version 4.0 only the Python 3,
DocumentInfo and maybe IllegalArgumentException changes actually
impact API clients in practice:
