Adding <distributable/> to web.xml breaks @VaadinSessionScoped injection in WildFly 14.0.1

[mrts]

I want to run a Vaadin 8 application in a WildFly 14.0.1 cluster.

There is an example open-source Vaadin application that uses JMS here that I use for testing. It works well without <distributable/>.

However, when I add <distributable/> to web.xml (see here), then @VaadinSessionScoped injection stops working and the application crashes with NullPointerException when a @Dependent bean that is injected into a @CDIView tries to access a @VaadinSessionScoped bean.

Here's the stack trace:
