Chapter 5. Unsupported and Deprecated Functionality

5.1. 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 JBoss EAP 7.1.

OAuth is not supported with RESTEasy.

ElytronAuthenticator

It is unsupported to use the ElytronAuthenticator class to propagate security identities. For more information, see Using the ElytronAuthenticator to Propagate Identities in How to Configure Identity Management.

5.2. Deprecated Features

Some features have been deprecated with the release of JBoss EAP 7.1. This means that no enhancements will be made to these features, and they may be removed in the future.

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 located on the Red Hat Customer Portal.
