Matej Novotny DeltaSpike is by far not the only framework which relies on the TCCL. Both MyFaces and Mojarra do as well. As do all JPA Implementations, and many other EE frameworks. So by not having the TCCL set up correctly you basically trash most of JavaEE in EARs if respective features get accessed during startup. That's the reason why the JavaEE umbrella spec explicitly defines that applications can rely that the TCCL has been set up. |
