David Lloyd commented on WFLY-10134:
------------------------------------

We discussed this in chat.  The servlet classes are loaded later, but the module is indeed loaded earlier from JACC as Brian suspected.

No solution has yet presented itself.

> The {{ee8-temp}} tests set the {{ee8.preview.mode}} property in the server management model, relying on system properties to get parsed and set before extensions which use Java EE 8 APIs are loaded.  This assumption appears to be invalid.
> System properties are installed by the boot controller thread, and extensions are loaded in server service threads.  In testing with the latest jboss-modules, I've observed cases where the controller thread does not add system properties until after some extension loading has happened in the server service threads.  I haven't untangled why this happens only with the most recent jboss-modules in play, but the race exists regardless.
> Setting the {{ee8.preview.mode}} in {{arquillian.xml}} appears to work around the issue.
