CDI definition failure with Mojarra 2.3.2 on glassfish - jsf

Question

First of all, I have searched this forum regarding this issue and tried several suggestions, but the problem persists.
I recently downloaded the javax.faces-2.3.2.jar file and added it as library in my Netbeans 8.2 IDE. I then created a Java Web project (not Maven) in Netbeans IDE and set it to use the new Mojarra 2.3.2 library / framework. However, I now get an error when I try to build and deploy the project:
Please see the error log below:
"WARN: WELD-000411: Observer method [BackedAnnotatedMethod] private org.glassfish.jersey.ext.cdi1x.internal.CdiComponentProvider.processAnnotatedType(#Observes ProcessAnnotatedType<Object>) receives events for all annotated types.

===================================================
Please note that my project is basically trivial; I am just testing to see if my bean works with JSF 2.3, now that I have installed Mojarra 2.3. (Note: The same code that is used in my project was compiled, built and deployed successfully with JSF 2.2.)
I also changed the annotation in my bean from #Managedbean to the #Named annotation. (That was basically the only change I made to the code.)
Below is the code for my JSF page:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
<h:head>
<title>Facelet Title</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form id="loginForm">
<h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="5">
<h:outputLabel for="username" value="Username:" />
<h:inputText id="username" value="#{userLoginView.username}" required="true" label="username" />
<h:outputLabel for="password" value="Password:" />
<h:inputText id="password" value="#{userLoginView.password}" required="true" label="password" />
<h:outputLabel for="comment_lg" value="Comment:" />
<h:inputText id="comment_lg" value="#{userLoginView.text1}}" />
<f:facet name="footer">
<h:commandButton id="btnLogin" value="Login" actionListener="#{userLoginView.login}" />
</f:facet>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Below is the code for my bean:
package demo;
/**
*
* #author admin
*/
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.inject.Named;
#Named("userLoginView")
#SessionScoped
public class UserLoginView implements Serializable {
private String username;
private String password;
private String text1;
public String getText1() {
return text1;
}
public void setText1(String text1) {
this.text1 = text1;
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public void login() {
System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
==================
The problem seems to be related to the CDI declaration. Am I missing something? I have read about beans.xml and the ConfigureBean class, but are these really necessary? Are there any additions / changes I need to make to my web.xml file for CDI in Mojarra 2.3? any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
My environment:
Netbeans 8.2
JSF: Mojarra 2.3.2
Primefaces 6.2
Glassfish Server 4.1.1
