At the moment I have identified two issues that will prevent us from running in WildFly 8: 1. WildFly 8 changed the default web container from JBoss Web (based on Tomcat) to Undertow. This shouldn't mean much changes in the application, as we don't use Tomcat specific APIs. But in means changes in the XML configuration that we use, including changes in how we configure connectors. 2. WildFly 8 comes with a new version of Resteasy, and we do use some Resteasy specific APIs. We will need minor changes in this area.

These two aren't huge issues, but I think it isn't worth going deeper before there is a release of WildFly 8. Anyhow, one can always use JBoss AS 7 or EAP in Fedora 20, it is a matter of uncompressing the JBoss .zip in some directory and setting JBOSS_HOME=/that/directory in the engine configuration.
