@LanceGabriel.Villacrusis Thanks for your question - so the RFA APIs are older, feature complete APIs that are still supported but will not receive anything other than maintenance updates. The latest APIs called RT-SDK (formerly known as Elektron SDK) are much simpler (composed of a higher level message API layer for ease-of-use and a lower level transport API layer for ultra-performance) and will continue to be developed upon. I hope this can help.

According to this notification, RFA Java - 8.1.X & 7.6.X have been rebranded to Refinitiv.

API Rebranding - adapt applications post re-branding to account for namespace changes resulting in recompile, test and re-deployment of applications. Customers have until July 2021 to make the changes.

The client needs to migrate the application to use RFA Java - 8.2.0.L1 & 7.7.0.L1 or higher. The lateset versions of RFA Java are 7.8.1.L1 and 8.2.3.L1.

However, it is better to migrate the appliaction to use RTSDK as mentioned by Jason.

Hello @LanceGabriel.Villacrusis

There is a Spring Boot - EMA Java (the message API of the RTSDK that was mentioned by my colleague above) example available at GitHub https://github.com/Refinitiv-API-Samples/Article.RTSDK.Java.MDWebService repository.
