WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile feature dependencies might be different in the developer tools and server runtime environment

Troubleshooting


Problem

If you enable one of the features in a Liberty profile server, other features that this feature depends on are enabled automatically. In some cases, features might enable more dependencies than they are stated to require. For example, If you enable the []restConnector-1.0[] feature from the developer tools, the developer tools states that []ssl-1.0[] and []jaxrs-1.0[] features are also enabled. When the server is started, []servlet-3.0[] feature is also enabled because of internal dependencies between []restConnector-1.0[] and []servlet-3.0[] features.

Symptom

Resolving The Problem

When adding a feature, the Liberty profile server installs the correct set of required feature dependencies, so that no additional changes are required. However, if a feature is removed and you notice that another required feature has been removed, this required feature must be added manually.
