Do you happen to package the Servlet API JAR in the WAR by accident? — David Dossot, May 25 '15 at 20:44
@DavidDossot I'm using Maven to build the project which JAR do you mean? — Ahmed Saeed, May 26 '15 at 12:57
The Servlet API has been packaged by many JARs so I can't tell you which one brings it to your classpath. Check what JAR(s) brings the `javax.servlet` package to your project. — David Dossot, May 26 '15 at 13:53

I found the solution for this issue which was as @DavidDosst pointed out a servlet jar included the the war file the jar name is geronimo-servlet_3.0_spec-1.0.jar and the issue was solved once i deleted this jar also a detailed description of the process of deploying CXF to WAS can be found at:
