Support for WildFly 29 #3368

mkomko · 2023-04-25T06:01:42Z

User Story (Required on creation)

I can deploy the Camunda BPM platform on WildFly 28 (already released) and WildFly 29 (scheduled for July 13, 2023).

Functional Requirements (Required before implementation)

Wildfly 28 and 29 are supported environments
Wildfly 26 and 27 remain supported environments
Our Wildfly subsystem extension is updated and works with the 27/28/29 versions
Our Wildfly subsystem is unit tested against the lowest and highest Wildfly dependencies (compatibility for Wildfly 27)
Documentation and migration guide is updated

Limitations of Scope

Wildfly 29 final is still not released, even though the release date has passed already. We assume it will be released in the next weeks. If it still doesn't happen, the ticket will fallback to Wildfly 28 only. See WildFly-Roadmap.

Hints

Currently, Camunda 7.19 and WildFly 28 are incompatible, because Camunda uses a lot of JBoss Modular Service Container and WildFly functionality that had been deprecated since 2016 and no longer exists in WildFly 28. See #3368 (comment) for a list.

Here is just the first example where deployment fails:

Hi @mkomko,

Thank you for reaching out to us with this.
I will assign the ticket for a decision so Product management can evaluate and prioritize it. This might take a bit due to the team's other responsibilities.
Nevertheless, as pointed by Thorben, any contribution on the topic will be helpful to bring this forward.

Best regards,
Yana

@toco-cam, assigning for a decision on this community feature request about WildFly. I didn't find any open tickets on the topic.

mkomko · 2023-04-26T07:59:11Z

@ThorbenLindhauer @toco-cam

I took a closer look and sadly it seems that a lot of components you are using had been deprecated for a long time and have now been removed. The following classes no longer exist:

org.jboss.msc.inject.Injector
org.jboss.msc.service.AbstractServiceListener
org.jboss.msc.service.Service
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceBuilder.DependencyType
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceController.Substate
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceController.Transition
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceListener
org.jboss.msc.value.InjectedValue

The following methods have a different signature:

org.jboss.as.controller.ObjectTypeAttributeDefinition.setAllowNull
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceBuilder.addDependency
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceTarget.addListener

The following classes are already deprecated:

java.lang.SecurityManager
java.security.AccessController
org.jboss.modules.ModuleIdentifier

The following methods are already deprecated:

org.jboss.modules.Module.getIdentifier
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceBuilder.addAliases
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceController.getService
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceController.getValue
org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceTarget.addService

The list is probably incomplete.

It seems a lot of that code needs to be rewritten, so sadly I'm not going to be able to provide a pull request.

We would very much appreciate if you could accept this feature request and handle it sooner than later, because then we would be able to create a custom build of the wildfly distro to use with WildFly 28 prior to the Camunda 7.20 release. But of course that is up to you and you might have other priorities.

Thank you very much!

ThorbenLindhauer · 2023-04-26T08:03:08Z

Thanks for sharing your findings. I was kind of waiting for this time to come for a couple of years now :).

Indeed we have other priorities right now, e.g. moving to Spring Boot 3. But sooner or later we will get back to this.

Hello @mkomko,

FYI - We will work on this topic this quarter with the target of supporting Wildfly 28+ in the near future.

Regards Tobias

mkomko · 2023-07-12T19:29:21Z

That sounds great, we're looking forward to it! Thank you very much for the information @toco-cam.
