 With the annotation `@path`, you can configure the relative path of a service under which it's served by protocol adapters. The path is appended to the protocol adapter's base path.
 
-With the annotations `@protocol` or `@protocols`, you can configure a list of protocol adapters a service should be served by. By default, a service is served by all installed protocol adapters. If you explicitly define a protocol, the service is only served by that protocol adapter.
+With the annotations `@protocol` or `@protocols`, you can configure a list of protocol adapters a service should be served by. By default, a service is served by the protocols `odata-v4` and [odata-v2](../../java/migration#v2adapter). If you explicitly specify a protocol, the service is only served by that protocol adapter.
 
 In the following example, the service `CatalogService` is available on the combined paths `/odata/v4/browse` with OData V4 and `/odata/v2/browse` with OData V2:

+Use the property <Config java>cds.protocols.defaults: []</Config> to prevent that a protocol is served accidentally.
