Superseded features
If you are migrating your configuration from an earlier release of WebSphere® Application Server, you should be aware of the various features that have been superseded in this release.
Stating that a feature is superseded indicates that a new
feature or combination of features might provide an advantage over
using the superseded feature. For example, new features might be used
in place of the superseded feature in order to reduce the server footprint
by excluding content that might not be necessary. The new feature
or features might not completely replace the function of the superseded
feature; therefore, you must consider your specific needs before deciding
whether to change your configuration. Superseded features remain supported
and valid for use in your configuration; the superseded label simply
provides an indication that you might be able to improve your configuration.
