Hi all,

I've just worked through getting CAS 6.4.5 to run on Wildfly 24 and want to 
post the steps and the issues encountered for two reasons: to see if anyone 
has a better idea of how to solve them, and to document the process for 
anyone else that needs to do the same.

I started with an autogenerated LDAP CAS WAR overlay from here 
<https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.4.x/authentication/LDAP-Authentication.html>, 
then applied the external servlet container configuration from here 
<https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/installation/Configuring-Servlet-Container-External.html>.
 
Specifically, this was added to build.gradle:

  implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-webapp:${project.'cas.version'}"

And the file jboss-deployment-structure.xml was added to 
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
      <dependencies>
        <module name="jdk.unsupported" />
      </dependencies>
    </deployment>
  </jboss-deployment-structure>

Additionally, both appServer and tomcatVersion in gradle.properties were 
set to blank as suggested by a recent thread on this mailing list here 
<https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/g/cas-user/c/V6XEVRexxmI/m/wgxGWL-LAgAJ>
.

However, cas.war failed to deploy on Wildfly 24 with a series of 
exceptions. Several appeared to be related and were all similar to:

2022-02-08 14:21:39,715 WARN  [org.jboss.modules.define] (Weld Thread Pool 
-- 3) Failed to define class 
org.springframework.http.server.reactive.ServletHttpHandlerAdapter$HandlerResultSubscriber
 
in Module "deployment.cas.war" from Service Module Loader: 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed to link 
org/springframework/http/server/reactive/ServletHttpHandlerAdapter$HandlerResultSubscriber
 
(Module "deployment.cas.war" from Service Module Loader): 
org/reactivestreams/Subscriber

A bit of searching lead to the idea to add the following dependency to 
build.gradle:

  implementation "org.reactivestreams:reactive-streams"

That fixed the above-mention exceptions. One more exception was present and 
stopping the webapp from deploying:

2022-02-08 14:28:12,800 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service

[id=org.hibernate.validator.cdi.internal.ValidatorBean_default]

It appeared two default ValidatorBeans exist. Unzipping cas.war and 
grepping for "ValidatorBean" identifies bval-jsr-2.0.5.jar and 
spring-context-5.3.9.jar as the culprits. A bit of internet searching lead 
to the idea of setting the following system property:

  bval.in-container=true

This was done by modifying standalone.conf and restarting Wildfly, at which 
point the exception above disappeared and was replaced by a new one:

  ... 8 more

Further investigation suggested excluding log4j, so 
jboss-deployment-structure.xml became:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
      <dependencies>
        <module name="jdk.unsupported" />
      </dependencies>
      <exclusions>
        <module name="org.apache.logging.log4j.api" />
      </exclusions>
    </deployment>
  </jboss-deployment-structure>

After which the CAS webapp finally deployed. Ta-dah!
