JBoss EAP 7.4.x compatible CIB Seven distribution available ?

[tonybotla]

I tried deploying CIB Seven on my JBoss EAP server 7.4.21.GA using the CIB seven distributions available for JBoss / WildFly (here) but both the versions 37.0.0 and 28.0.1 were failing with below error

org.jboss.modules.ModuleNotFoundException: jakarta.transaction.api at org.jboss.modules.Module.addPaths(Module.java:1289)

CIB seven distribution that was built for a Jakarta EE runtime, but JBoss EAP 7.4 is Java EE 8 It provides javax.transaction.* It does NOT provide jakarta.transaction.*

Is there any CIB distribution available which is compatible to Jboss EAP 7.4.x and Java 8 ? I tried downloading CIB seven 1.0 version also even it uses jakarta.

Any workarounds available to make CIB seven work on Jboss EAP 7.4.x with Java 8 on production servers ?

Detail Stack trace is give below
