Chapter 3. Unsupported and Deprecated Functionality

3.1. Unsupported Features

Support for some technologies are removed due to the high maintenance cost, low community interest, and better alternative solutions. The following features are not supported in this continuous delivery release for JBoss EAP.

Note

The unsupported features listed in the Unsupported Features section of the 7.1.0 Release Notes also apply to this continuous delivery release for JBoss EAP, unless they are mentioned in the New Features and Enhancements section of this document.

Configuring a discovery group or a broadcast group using JGroups is not supported in a cluster consisting of different versions of JBoss EAP. For more information, see Clusters Overview in Configuring Messaging and Upgrading a Cluster in the Patching and Upgrading Guide.

3.2. Deprecated Features
