2. Unsupported Features

Some configurations that worked for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5 are no longer supported. Please review them.
Infinispan API
The direct use of the Infinispan API is not supported in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6. Infinispan is used as an implementation detail for various clustering technologies internal to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. The API's module.xml incorrectly indicates that direct use is possible, even though this is not the case. This will be fixed in a future release. Direct use of the Infinispan API requires a subscription to JBoss Data Grid.
IPv6 Limitations of JDK 6
The following IPv6 limitations are caused by JDK 6, and are not defects in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.
  1. On Microsoft Windows Server, JDK 6 has only a partial IPv6 implementation. This implementation is not sufficient to run JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6. Full IPv6 support on Microsoft Windows Server requires JDK 7.
  2. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a bug in Oracle JDK 6 means that any address specified on a client (the network point establishing the connection) which contains a zone-id will fail. To use a zone-id, either upgrade to JDK 7, or use IcedTea/OpenJDK 6, which is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and does not exhibit this bug. For more information about the bug, refer to http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6800096 and https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPAPP-8833.
JPA 2.0 Context Propagation Outside of a JTA Transaction
Hibernate's JPA implementation did not adhere to JPA 2.0 standards in that previously, an extended persistence context could be propagated outside a JTA transaction. This has been fixed, and Hibernate now complies with the specification. If your application uses an extended persistence context (XPC) to allow queuing or batching of data modifications, you may need to make changes to your application. Refer to the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 Migration Guide for instructions on updating your application.
For more information about this decision, refer to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1663.

PicketLink STS
PicketLink STS (Security Token Service) is not supported in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.
