How to work with deprecated acs-commons tag libs

We are upgrading from 5.6.1 to 6.3

Went through some of the docs and found acs-commons deprecated tag libs. Tag libs used in our project are  wcmmode, widgets and xss listed under global.jsp

Most of the docs over internet shown usage of HTL tags. If mandatory to use HTL tags, how to work with Sightly for classic UI components since we are using only classic UI. Suggest me the changes for global.jsp and tags.

    Please use Touch UI and HTL. this is now recommended and also in upcoming versions possibly classic UI will not be there.

    so better if you are moving in 6.3 then please use Touch UI.

    If you are upgrading to AEM 6.3 - recommended approach is to change you components to HTL and Touch UI dialogs.  At some point Classic **may** disappear.

    They need classic to maintain the crew who normally author,also they want to finish in a very short time time since it is a small project.  This will be the final version they're using from AEM.

    Conversion of components to HTL is a big task now, so please help me with alternatives to tag libs.

    See: WCMMode Tags & Functions

    However - if you really want to  - you can try using them in AEM 6.3. If you run into issues - i am not sure it will be supported.

    Deprecated means we encourage you not to use them (as they will be gone in a future version). We recommend using HTL instead.

      Thank you

      -I'm getting the below error

      Caused by: org.apache.sling.scripting.jsp.jasper.JasperException: /apps/XXXX/components/content/top-navigation/top-navigation.jsp(14,0) The attribute prefix widgets does not correspond to any imported tag library

      -14th line of jsp has

      <c:set var="links" value="${widgets:getMultiFieldPanelValues(resource, loginVar)}"/>

      What version of ACS-Commons are you using?

      Also - as we stated - using these tag libs is risky - for AEM 6.3 - you should be using Core Components to build an AEM Site -- see:

      aem-core-wcm-components/README.md at master · Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/aem-core-wcm-components · GitHub

        acs-aem-commons-content-3.8.4.zip

        I'm not getting any error on authoring now, thanks for the quick response... Will the tag libs functionality be available if we stay with the current version 3.8.4 of acs-aem-commons ?
