      1. Execute the attached "generate-cli.sh" to generate JBoss CLI script (test.cli) which configures many filter-ref definistion.
      2. Execute the generated "test.cli"

      ./bin/jboss-cli.sh --file=/path/to/test.cli

      3. Start JBoss EAP 7 with the configuration

      ./bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-test.xml

      4. Send a request

      curl -v http://localhost:8080/

      The request fails with "500 Internal Server Error" because of "IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general contract!"

      If you really need to define many filter-ref definition, you can work around this issue by adding the following to JAVA_OPTS in standalone.conf:

      JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true"

      When many filter-ref are defined (theoretically more than 32 filter-ref are defined), Undertow has a possibility fail to process a request with the following ERROR:

      The IllegalArgumentException happens when Java's TimSort algorithm happens to detect inconsistency in the comparison. This happens because the comparator implementation for sorting filter-ref does not follow the contract for comparison.
