Removed features

If you are migrating from an earlier release of WebSphere® Application Server, you should be aware of the various features that have been removed from this and earlier releases.

If a feature is listed as deprecated in Deprecated features, IBM® might remove this capability in a subsequent release of the product. Future investment will be focussed on the strategic function listed under "Recommended Migration Actions" in Deprecated features. Typically, a feature is not removed until at least two major releases or three full years (whichever time period is longer) after the release in which that feature is deprecated. For example, features that are deprecated in Version 6.0, Version 6.0.1, or Version 6.0.2 are not removed from the product until after Version 7.0 because both Version 6.0.x and Version 6.1.x are major releases. In rare cases, it might become necessary to remove features sooner; such cases are indicated clearly and explicitly in the descriptions of these deprecated features in Deprecated features.

The following tables describe what is removed—such as features, APIs, scripting interfaces, tools, wizards, publicly exposed configuration data, naming identifiers, and constants. Where possible, the recommended replacement is identified.

Features removed in Version 7.0

[z/OS]
Table 1. Features removed in Version 7.0. This table describes the features that are removed in Version 7.0.
Feature Recommended Migration Action
Support for the following interfaces:
  • Java™ Virtual Machine Profiler Interface (JVMPI)

  • ServletChain
Rearchitect your applications to use javax.servlet.filter classes rather than com.ibm.websphere.servlet.filter classes. Starting from the Servlet 2.3 specification, javax.servlet.filter classes give you the capability to intercept requests and examine responses. You can also chain functionality as well as embellish and truncate responses.
