[jboss-as7-dev] NPEs when EE subsystem is disabled

[Stuart Douglas]

Some subsystems just don't make sense without others. I know this is not exactly documented anywhere, but it is basically implied by the spec, the EJB spec is based on the EE spec, without EE functionality EJB3 cannot work as expected.

It would be better if we could have some sort of exception that explained this in plain english, but it is not an easy thing to with concurrent boot.
