[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6608?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] jaikiran pai commented on AS7-6608: ----------------------------------- (thanks to Shelly for pointing this out) Note that while removing support for this, we will have to make sure we still ship the jaxrpc (JBoss) module since the EJB API depends on the javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext class. The EE 7 spec says: {quote} Java EE 7 Platform Specification, EE.6.1.2 Required APIs " If an implementation includes support for a technology marked as Optional, that technology must be supported in the containers specified in Table EE.6-1. If a product implementation does not support a technology marked as Optional, it must not include the APIs for that technology. Note that a component specification is permitted to specify an exception to this in order to accommodate interface type dependencies—for example, the EJB SessionContext dependency on the javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext type. {quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
