Infinispan not working with Jakarta EE?

[dougbreaux]

(Maybe related to #669 , but maybe not)

Having updated our application to use Jakarta EE (and Java 21), and running the Infinispan steps to add session cache, we're now getting these errors when trying to start the container. Removing Infinispan allows the container and app to start and run successfully.

Making me think that the current Infinispan script simply doesn't work with Jakarta EE Liberty features?

server.xml features

    <featureManager>
        <feature>concurrent-3.0</feature>
        <feature>webProfile-10.0</feature>
        <feature>mail-2.1</feature>
        <feature>mpHealth-4.0</feature>
    </featureManager>

Related to #673 and #691 ?

Well, I eventually got something working by installing manually. But then I'm unclear why it's not working in automated fashion. Although I did install a newer version of Infinispan jars than the Liberty script uses.

(Which looks like it's version 10, compared to current being version 15! Our Infinispan - Red Hat Data Grid - is currently version 13. Which seems to be the reason my attempt to use version 15 jars failed. But version 14 ones seem to be working.)
