How to use my own woodstox implementation in JBoss EAP ?

Issue

• We need to use our own woodstox stax2 and cxf implementation in our appliction. We are packaging cxf-2.6.9.* jars, the woodstox-core-asl-4.2.0.jar and the stax2-api-4.0.0.jar in the application. We exlcuded this via jboss-deployment-structure.xml,

<exclusions>
            <!--  <module name="org.apache.santuario.xmlsec" ></module>-->
            <module name="org.hibernate" ></module>
            <module name="org.apache.xerces"></module>
            <module name="org.apache.cxf"></module>
            <module name="org.codehaus.woodstox" ></module>
        </exclusions>
        <exclude-subsystems>
            <subsystem name="webservices" ></subsystem>
            <subsystem name="jaxrs" ></subsystem>
        </exclude-subsystems>

• We get following error message, because in stax2-api-4.0.0 the empty iterator uses generic types.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.codehaus.stax2.ri.EmptyIterator.getInstance()Lorg/codehaus/stax2/ri/EmptyIterator;

every time we make a call to any cxf Webservice.

• Is there a way to exclude jboss woodstox implemetation from the application ?

• The stacktrace is:
