Description

As a measure of security hardening, people want to delete the application server's management UI to prevent remote access to it ; especially for app servers exposed to Internet access.

Problem with removing tomee from webapps directory is that it contains EE features such an EJB transport.

This JIRA is to request a separation of TomEE transport features from TomEE management web app ; so that this later web app can safely deleted without risking any regression for web applications run-time features.

Apache Tomcat supports with process, so it can be a showstopper for organizations considering a move from Tomcat to TomEE.
