spring jsf jsf-2 cdi

I need to use custom html attributes inside JSF components, and for this the only solution that i found is use JSF 2.2, in this way:

<f:passThroughAttribute name="data-toggle" value="modal" />

The problem is that i'm using Spring + Tomcat and i can't change this because i don't have time. Every time that i start my server i got the following error :

Informações: CDI @ViewScoped manager unavailable
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/enterprise/context/spi/Contextual

I know this happens because i don't use CDI, but as i said i can't change from Spring to CDI because of time.

How can i solve this problem ? I must use JSF 2.2 (Because custom html attributes) and Spring.

SOLVED:

This problem as solved, i downgrade to JSF 2.2.6 and error stops.
