Request to upgrade Java from 17.0.10 to 17.0.18 in WildFly 26.1.3 image

[quentingosset]

Name and Version

bitnami/wildfly:26.1.3-debian-11-r212

What is the problem this feature will solve?

The current Bitnami WildFly container (bitnami/wildfly:26.1.3-debian-11-r212) uses Java version 17.0.10, which is outdated and does not include the latest security patches and improvements.

WildFly 26.1.3 supports Java 17, but the bundled JDK version is not aligned with the latest available release in the Java 17 LTS line.

Using an outdated JDK version may expose users to security vulnerabilities and prevents benefiting from recent bug fixes and performance improvements.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

I would like to request updating the Java version used in the container to Java 17.0.18, which is the latest release of the Java 17 LTS line.

What alternatives have you considered?

As a workaround, users can build a custom image based on the Bitnami container and manually upgrade the JDK version.

However, this adds maintenance overhead and defeats the purpose of using an official, ready-to-use container image.

The latest WildFly version (39.0.1) in the catalog bundles Java (JRE) 21.0.10-10, see https://github.com/bitnami/containers-private/blob/main/bitnami/wildfly/39/photon-5/Dockerfile#L31

Hey @carrodher,

WildFly supports Java 8 up to version 26.1.3.Final, which is the last release compatible with Java 8.

If I’m not mistaken, this version should also work with more recent JREs like Java 1.8 / 17.

So I’m looking to use WildFly 26.1.3 with an image that includes either a JRE 1.8 or JRE 17, ideally the most recent release available.
