Any potential issues with using "Netty 4.1.8.Final" in "WildFly 10.1.0.Final"

[john.ho.sv]

"WildFly 10.1.0.Final" includes "Netty 4.0.33.Final". But I want to use the latest "Netty 4.1.8.Final". I am wondering if there are any potential issues.

I appreciate any comments/feedback.

Yes there are, if you upgrade the io.netty module in WILDFLY_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/io/netty/main

you will see issues with artemis/messaing/jms remoting.

There was recent upgrade in wildfly master to netty  4.1.x [WFLY-8123] Upgrade Artemis 1.5.3.jbossorg-002 by jmesnil · Pull Request #9651 · wildfly/wildfly · GitHub  you can probably apply same patch for upgrade.

Beyond that, you can always bundle whatever version of netty in your deployment and you should be fine
