JBPM Wildfly Version

[tgunter]

I am evaluating JBPM for a new project.  As a proof of concept, I spun up a quick Spring boot application to exercise the JBPM API through restful services with the idea that I could take these Autowired classes and simply drop them into the actual application at a future date.  The problem is that JBoss Wildfly 8.x has a known bug that throws null pointer exceptions for the HttpResponse headers with Spring Boot applications.  JBoss' Jira instance says this is fixed in 9.x and above.  So I downloaded Wildfly 10 and sure enough the Spring Boot application works fine (JBPM calls stubbed at the moment).

Questions:

1) Out of curiosity, why is the latest and greatest JBPM release out of sync with the latest and greatest Wildfly release?

2) Can I deploy a JBPM application on Wildfly 9 or 10?  I prefer 10 since that appears to be what the application developers are going to use.

3) If so, what are the steps to deploy to Wildfly 9 or 10?  I tried it just to verify it wouldn't work, and here is the exception I get when I do so:

Follow up:  that stack trace was me just dropping the jbpm-console.war file into a Wildfly 10 deployment directory.  I tried instead to change the jboss.server version in build.properties to 10.0.0 and repeating the install.  After doing so, I get this stack trace when it attempts to deploy the war file:

I think jBPM 6.4 is not yet compatible with Wildfly 10/ JBoss EAP 7. I will suggest you to try with Wildfly8/ JBoss AS 7 release.
