Question

I am migrating my application from jboss-eap-5.1 to jboss-eap-6.4.0. My application is using spring 3.1.1 related jar and apache-cxf-2.7.7 jars. 

Ear file structure is as below 
EAR/lib - contains all the jar which is common for wars.
app1.war/lib - contains jars required for it
app2.war/lib - contains jars required for it


I have also excluded modules for webservice, org.jboss.as.jaxrs & ejb3 from  standalong.xml config file.  


Spring jars :
spring-orm-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-aop-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar                spring-oxm-3.2.4.RELEASE.jar
spring-asm-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar                spring-test-3.2.4.RELEASE.jar
spring-beans-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar              spring-tx-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-context-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar            spring-web-3.2.4.RELEASE.jar
spring-core-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar               spring-webmvc-3.2.4.RELEASE.jar
spring-data-commons-core-1.1.0.RELEASE.jar  spring-ws-core-2.1.4.RELEASE.jar
spring-data-jpa-1.0.3.RELEASE.jar           spring-ws-test-2.1.4.RELEASE.jar
spring-expression-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar         spring-xml-2.1.4.RELEASE.jar

javaw.ws.rs jar containes below jar
javax.ws.rs-api-2.0-m10.jar

apache-cfx-jars packaged in ear/lib are 
cxf-api-2.7.7.jar                     cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs-2.7.7.jar
cxf-rt-bindings-soap-2.7.7.jar        cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws-2.7.7.jar

I had to add this following dependencies to my pom to avoid that error:

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
        <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
        <artifactId>cxf-rt-ws-policy</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
        <artifactId>cxf-rt-wsdl</artifactId>
