      When upgrading WildFly 10.x to JSF 2.3, then running a web application using any JSF library having a custom javax.faces.application.Application will result in an UnsupportedOperationException during startup.

      This is reported a.o. here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/44076148/why-is-jsf-2-3-not-working-with-omnifaces-2-6-1

      This problem has the same grounds as reported in a.o. https://github.com/omnifaces/omnifaces/issues/75 and https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1805

      Root problem is: org.jboss.as.jsf.injection.weld.WeldApplication does not extend from JSF's own javax.faces.application.ApplicationWrapper having all necessary default methods implemented. Instead, it extends from a custom org.jboss.as.jsf.injection.weld.ForwardingApplication with only JSF 2.2 specific default methods hardcoded instead of relying on API-provided ones.

      Solution: let WeldApplication extend from ApplicationWrapper instead.
