Installation on WildFly 23.x failed due to class jakarta.ws.rs.core.Application is missing - Identity Manager v14.5

Products

• CA Identity Manager

Issue/Introduction

We are installing the Identity Manager v14.5 with WildFly 23.x and Java 1.8.x (Eclipse Adoptium) a new Windows Server 2022 machine. This is a plain installation of Identity Manager with Administrative Tools and no other options selected (like Siteminder Integration, Provisioning etc.,).

When we try to start the WildFly server, it fails with below exception:

Environment

 Identity Manager v14.5

Cause

Wildfly 23.x Preview version is a limited version and not supported to run Identity Manager 14.5

Use supported Wildfly 23.x (Jakarta EE Full & Web Distribution) instead of Wildfly Preview version.
