JBoss EAP 6.3 + cxf 2.7.11 jax-rs calls

I am trying to deploy a REST API on JBoss EAP 6.3 using the cxf 2.7.11 based jax-rs implementation that I provide in the WAR archive. I am currently getting the following error when calling a URL that does not exist (404 expected):

12:22:14,627 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT].[CXFServlet]] (http-/127.0.0.1:8080-2) JBWEB000236: Servlet.service() for servlet CXFServlet threw exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.ws.rs.ClientErrorException.validate(Ljavax/ws/rs/core/Response;Ljavax/ws/rs/core/Response$Status$Family;)Ljavax/ws/rs/core/Response;

I tried to exclude resteasy in jboss-deployment-structure.xml but that doesn't help:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
    <deployment>
        <exclude-subsystems>
            <subsystem name="resteasy" />
            <subsystem name="jaxrs" />
            <subsystem name="webservices" />
        </exclude-subsystems>
        <exclusions>
            <module name="javax.ws.rs.api" />
            <module name="org.apache.cxf" />
            <module name="org.apache.cxf.impl" />
        </exclusions>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

      

        
        
        
      

    

CXF version 2.6.16 works fine.

I think there is a problem with javax.ws.rs-api-2.0-m10 which is a transitive dependency of cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs, but when I exclude this I get a ClassNotFoundException for the jax-rs API classes.

Is there any solution to this problem?
