Jboss as a service failing on OS Reboot RHEL8

Question

0

I am facing some issues while running Jboss as a service on RHEL8 servers. The setup of service is done in a standard way as per the RHEL guidelines

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/7.1/html/installation_guide/configuring_jboss_eap_to_run_as_a_service.

The issue is that manual start/stop using systemctl command works fine. but it fails to automatically start up Jboss service in case of OS reboot with below error

[ec2-user@ip-xx-xx-xx-xx ~]$ sudo systemctl status jboss-eap-rhel

Nothing much is getting logged in the host-controller logs as well even with detailed logging, with the process suddenly exiting with status code 99

While troubleshooting there were quite a few posts pointing that this could be a issue of SELinux denying permissions. Tried the scenario with SELinux permissive/disabled but the problem still persists. There is no additional information available in systemd logs as well. Can anybody help me with the above. I am not able to figure out how to proceed further. Thanks
