Gettting WELD Exception on server startup of weblogic where as using Google Guice for DI in Jersey based application - jersey-2.0

Question

I am using Weblogic 12b as App server. My application uses Jersey 2.5.1 with Guice3 in my project. I have a class called Application derived from org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig. On server startup I am getting error as below:
Caused By: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001408: Unsatisfied dependencies for type ServiceLocator with qualifiers #Default
at injection point [BackedAnnotatedParameter] Parameter 1 of [BackedAnnotatedConstructor] #Inject public Application(ServiceLocator)
at Application.<init>(Application.java:22)
at org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.Validator.validateInjectionPointForDeploymentProblems(Validator.java:359)
at org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.Validator.validateInjectionPoint(Validator.java:281)

at org.jboss.weld.injection.producer.InjectionTargetService.validateProducer(InjectionTargetService.java:36)
at org.jboss.weld.manager.InjectionTargetFactoryImpl.validate(InjectionTargetFactoryImpl.java:135)
It seems it is taking WELD in place of google Guice for DI.
Same issue I am getting in business Tier where EJB classes are composed of Java Classes and they are injected using #Inject.
I have even tried to change he import #Inject to google inject but the exception changed but not resolved.
I tried to use beans.xml in web-inf
#ApplicationPath("/")
public class Application extends ResourceConfig {
#Inject
public Application(final ServiceLocator serviceLocator) {
}
}

You need to effectively disable CDI.
You can do this by adding a WEB-INF/beans.xml file to your application that contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_1.xsd"
bean-discovery-mode="none">
</beans>
Note the bean-discovery-mode="none".
If your project contains additional jars with classes that might look CDI beans then you will also need to add a similar META-INF/beans.xml file to those as well.
However, I suspect that this may lead to other unrelated issues. Normally application servers like to control the lifecycle of your classes and this includes those related to JAX-RS.
