After failing to migrate an old MyFaces 2.0 webapp (app1) from WebLogic Server 12.1.3 to Tomcat Tomcat 9 using OpenWebBeans 2.0.27 due to a potential CDI issue, I was asked to switch my attention back to TomEE Plus since this webapp also makes use of EJBs.
Irrespective of whether I use TomEE Plus 1.7.5 or 8.0.11, I get the following error at TomEE Plus start-up:

Like me, I've seen other users in SO complain about a similar pattern especially where we don't see such an error with Tomcat but only on TomEE (Plus). There seems to be no missing resource in the Axeda third-party libraries we use.
One observation is that the Maven dependency for the Oracle JDBC driver (ojdbc7-12.1.0.1.jar) needs to be of provided scope (must be added to TomEE's lib) to work which was not the case during my Tomcat trials.
Is there a known conflict with TomEE I'm missing?
I'd appreciate any input to help overcome this hurdle which has left me stranded for days now.
Configuration
- Servlet Spec 3.1.0
- EL Spec 2.2.4
- CDI 1.0 (beans_1_0 in beans.xml)
- EJB 3.3.0 (assumed from dependency on WebLogic 2.1.3)
- MyFaces 2.0 (but with MyFaces Core 2.3.10)
- CODI 1.0.5
- PrimeFaces 4.0
- TomEE Plus 1.7.5 or 8.0.11 (not sure which is more appropriate for this configuration)
- Java 8
