Getting NoClassDefFoundError and ClassPathXmlApplicationContext from a Spring application in JBoss EAP 7

Issue

When migrating an Spring application from JBoss EAP 5 to 7 I need to add the spring-context-5.2.12.RELEASE.jar library, although when trying to make a deploy of the artifact throws me the following error:

...
