3.2. Deprecated Features

Some features have been deprecated with the release of JBoss EAP 7. This means that no enhancements will be made to these features, and they may be removed in the future, usually the next major release.

Red Hat will continue providing full support and bug fixes under our standard support terms and conditions. For more information about the Red Hat support policy, see the Red Hat JBoss Middleware Product Update and Support Policy article located on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

For details of which features have been deprecated, see the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Component Details located on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

  • All PicketLink modules, including Federation, are deprecated in JBoss EAP 7, which means that they may be removed in future versions of JBoss EAP. JBoss EAP 7 still supports PicketLink Federation.
  • resteasy-jettison-provider is deprecated in JBoss EAP 7. For more information, see RESTEasy Jettison JSON Provider Changes in the JBoss EAP Migration Guide.
