Java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.wsee.jaxws.spi.WLSProvider

Question

My wlserver_10.3 throws the following 500 exception on the attempt to create an Endpoint. I'm using cxf-2.3.x which uses geronimo-jaxws_2.2_spec-1.0.jar where the the line Provider.java:43 simply calls "return (Provider) FactoryFinder.find(JAXWSPROVIDER_PROPERTY, DEFAULT_JAXWSPROVIDER);"
LINE 42 - public static Provider provider() {
LINE 43 - return (Provider) FactoryFinder.find(JAXWSPROVIDER_PROPERTY, DEFAULT_JAXWSPROVIDER);
LINE 44 - }
It appeared the different ClassLoader's cause issues with casting itself. I appreciate any suggestion in resolving this ...
Exception thrown by wlserver_10.3 ...

Thank you ... The ClassCastException has gone after I removed the entry but I got another exception below that also seems to do w/ using the wrong class. Please let me know if there is a configuration I should tweak for this?
Another the question I have is if removing the file $WL_HOME/server/lib/weblogic.jar!/META-INF/services/javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider (or any similar file) from weblogic.jar will affect any of wlserver_10.3 internal/built-in functionality?
Thanks,
