Exception starting application on webspere 8.5

Question

I'm getting this error starting web application on WebSphere 8.5. Application calls thru MyBatis stored procedures on DB2. User triggers calls using REST WS, implemented using Jersey framework. Spring glues everything together. The same application works fine on Tomcat 7. Did anyone see this error? Any help will be appreciated). It looks like it fails to initialize Context and Dependency Injection container for the application.

The stacktrace:

Had the same problem on Websphere 8. This answer is based on the user3040441's comment. To avoid the extra research for others looking to solve this.

A note on JEE6 / CDI 1.0

A workaround added in Guava 15.0 to make it compatible with CDI 1.1 (used in JEE7 containers) caused problems for Guava with CDI 1.0 (used in JEE6 containers).

If you're using Guava in a CDI 1.0 environment, you should use guava-15.0-cdi1.0.jar instead of the normal Guava jar. In Maven, the dependency can be specified as:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
  <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
  <version>15.0</version>
  <classifier>cdi1.0</classifier>
</dependency>

https://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/issues/detail?id=1527#c20

JSR-330 annotations have been removed for Guava 16.0, so hopefully there will be no further issues with CDI. Now we'll just have issues when code that was taking advantage of the annotations stops working.
