WELD Classloading issue after adding deltaspike to an existing primefaces maven project - jsf

Question

I am new to primefaces and deltaspike, we initially tried with CDI conversations but had to fall back to deltaspike. I added the jars as mentioned in the https://deltaspike.apache.org/documentation/configure.html#config-maven-indep But I am getting a classloading issue with FacesMessages. I am not sure how to resolve this. Below are the logs and pom files.

I wanted to attach my complete pom.xml files but didn't know how to do it, they are too big to add them like the modules.xml I did above. Can someone guide me please?

Answer 1

After I commented out the javax.faces.application.FacesMessage and all its occurrences from my controllers and service classes, the error disappeared. It looks like we cannot use deltaspike and jsf-api FacesMessage together as they create ambiguity?
