I've tried to use this solution, but it doesn't work: Is it possible to run Wildfly 10 on new jdk17

As best as I can see when JBoss EAP 6.1 was released in 2013 Java 8 didn't even exist, let alone 9, 11 or 17. Java 9 introduced a *major* change to class loading (with the module system) and later released further restricted legacy options. Since EAP is a application server and application servers tend to do "funny things with classloading" it's in the class of applications most likely to not be compatible with newer Java versions without major changes. My strong suspicion: there's no way in heck that you're going to run that ancient EAP version on Java 17. — Joachim Sauer, Mar 13 '23 at 12:59
Also: [this page](https://access.redhat.com/articles/111663) (and [the same for EAP 7](https://access.redhat.com/articles/2026253)). — Joachim Sauer, Mar 13 '23 at 13:13

Given that this is a really old EAP version that came from before Java 9 you'd need to change the scripts a lot to be able to run it on a newer Java version
