See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3927
+1 for this task
comment to " ... and possibly restricting the supported JDKs from now on ..."
This may won't be so easy from product perspective ... in EAP 6 we support 3 major
JDK versions
For EAP 7 it may be the same number, at least JDK 8 + 9.
Besides for what's in the jira description, the idea is that what
we can
do now is ensuring that the JBossWS testsuite as well as any other
properly configured client can work fine without having to endorse
anything. By properly configured I mean either using JBoss Modules or
Seems safer, something like java -jar $JBOSS_HOME/jboss-modules.jar -mp
$JBOSS_HOME/modules/ -cp target/classes/ -dep org.jboss.ws.cxf.jbossws-cxf-client
org.jboss.MyClient is possible now
Not sure how this would work for TS
with a flat classpath in which the jbossws jars come before the cxf
ones. Note, the latter condition equals to a maven project in which the
jbossws dependencies come before cxf dependencies and/or any other
dependency that transitively pulls the cxf ones.
Nasty problems can come up from this, we need to be careful, checks are good idea for this
approach
Further efforts might be spent in the future when JDK 9 support will
be
worked, to either enforce modular classloading (perhaps through Jigsaw
we need solution for both JDK 8 and 9 - so I would prefer JBoss Modules
Understand that Jigsaw would be in JDK by default + would be widely used
stuff) or to add checks on the classpath at runtime (with the goal of

warning the user if he's not properly using jbossws... this needs
better
thinking though).
