I am deploying a JSF app with TomEE 7 and after creating a Web Services the application runs, but not the WS, which gives me an HTTP 500 error.
SEVERE - Error deploying CXF webservice for servlet xxxxx
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeAwareParserConfiguration cannot be cast to org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration

It seems there is some xerces class or jar conflict as seen here and here. In my lib folder there is no xerces, but one of the dependencies in my pom.xml loads its latest version (C:\Users\user1\.m2\repository\xerces\xercesImpl\2.11.0\xercesImpl-2.11.0.jar), which is included in the lib of the app. However, this was like this before the WS were created, and it was working fine. The rest of the application loads fine, it is just that the Servlet for the Web Service cannot load.
I have tried to exclude xerces from the dependencies in pom.xml but the error is still there. How can I fix this?

EDIT
If I delete all reference to xerces inside my webapp in the tomee directory and use this in my pom.xml:
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>xerces</groupId>
<artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
Then I don't have the conflict and the servlet loads -- although other things fail now and I cannot call the Web Service because there is no binding, all probably related to the missing xerces.
If the conflict was provoked by a duplicated library or mismatched versions, how can I identify where? Because it seems there is no xerces in TomEE, only in my Web app.
