error when deploying Java WS in Jboss 6.3.0 EAP

Question

I am migrating an application with Java WS from Jboss 5.1.0 to Jboss 6.3.0 EAP. It works fine with Jboss 5.1.0 but I am getting error while deploying the same in Jboss 6.3.0 EAP.

14:42:10,887 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-2) MSC000001: Failed to start service jboss.deploy

I understand Jboss 6.3.0 EAP uses CXF implementation for webservice, but I am looking for simple Java WS to use the standard Java EE environment.

tried the following in jboss-deployment-structure.xml

<exclude-subsystems>
    <subsystem name="webservices" />
</exclude-subsystems>

this got rid of the exception at deployment time but I get a Classcast exception when invoking the wsdl for the service

http://localhost:8080/myapp/myservice?wsdl

JBWEB000235: Allocate exception for servlet MyWebService: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.example.webservice.endpoint.DataService cannot be cast to javax.servlet.Servlet

any idea?

The problem is bundling asm.jar in your deployment.
Try remove it and add this to your jboss-deployment-structure.xml:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
       <dependencies>
            ...
            <module name="asm.asm" />
            ...
        </dependencies>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
