WAS 8.5, How to avoid annotation scanning?

Question

We deploy a web app on WAS 8.5.0.0, we're using PARENT_LAST class loader(we have to for some reason), during the startup, there're some warnings:

Right after these warnings, there's an exception:

Sorry for the super long log info, basically, it's saying "CWNEN0044E: A resource reference binding could not be found for the following resource references...", and the classes mentioned, like "ServiceChannelWSImpl", are all in the webservice-rt-2.0.1.jar

If I remove webservice-rt-2.0.1.jar and webservice-api-2.0.1.jar(and my classes which are dependent on these 2 jars), then the error is gone.

I google it, and it seems related to annotation scanning, so I update my MANIFEST.MF, and add:

Ignore-Scanning-Archives: webservices-api-2.0.1.jar, webservices-rt-2.0.1.jar

But this doesn't work, the error is still there.

Any other suggestions? I'm out of ideas, could some WAS expert please help?

and the annotation used in the class:

@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.a.b.BaseWS", targetNamespace = "http://driver.abc.com/", serviceName = "BaseWSService", portName = "BaseWSPort", wsdlLocation = "WEB-INF/wsdl/BaseWSService.wsdl")
public class CalcWS implements BaseWS {
...
}

WebSphere provides JAX-WS runtime. So I'd suggest you to remove any JAX-WS related jars from your application and use WebSphere provided implementation. See if you still will have errors.

If you want to use third party provider you will need to disable WebSphere JAX-WS runtime for your application.

To turn off annotation scanning at the application level, set the DisableIBMJAXWSEngine property in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of a WAR file or EJB module to true. Example:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
DisableIBMJAXWSEngine: true
