You have your code running in a WildFly server with all required capabilities as a Web archive. The implementation is well under way and only impacts the WildFly Glow project. The PR[3] for WildFly glow has also some documentation with working examples to prototype a simple Web application, a MicroProfile application, and a Chat bot based on an Ollama model. This is an experimental feature. I’m looking for volunteers to provide an outside perspective on this feature. If you are interested by this proposal, please have a look at the proposal, the PR in Glow Thanks, Jeff [1] https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-proposals/pull/689 [2] https://www.jbang.dev/ [3] https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-glow/pull/113 -- Jeff Mesnil Engineer @ Red Hat http://jmesnil.net/
