remove Saaj dependencies from here, it throws the class-not-found-exceptions for saaj classes. I have seen similar error reported on thread, Failed to define class com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.SOAPDocumentImpl (https://community.jboss.org/message/634414#634414), but found those changes suggested are already implemented in JBoss 7.1.0.Final. Any one has a clue about how this could be resolved ?
