When deploying application with WebSockets used in EAP 6 to EAP 7, deployment will fail due EAP7 not supporting [1] in jboss-web.xml. The <enable-websockets> element is required in EAP 6 to enable the WebSockets functionality in JBoss Web.

This element should be also allowed in EAP 7 in order to simplify migration from EAP 6. Functionality of {{ <enable-websockets>true</enable-websockets>}} can be ignored as in EAP 7 and in Undertow there is no need to enable WebSockets explicitly.
