Anyone can provide some enlightenment on this issue? Thanks a lot!

For "Property reuse-instance" related errors which have same stack trace logs, they are about apache axiom. Websphere Application Server full profile uses and exposes org.apache.* open source libraries to applications running on the server. You might encounter problems when your application uses the same libraries at difference versions that are deployed within your application. To fix this issue, you can change the class loader from parent first to parent last. Reference

The stack trace indicates that the JAX-WS runtime in WebSphere is attempting to use SJSXP instead of WebSphere's own StAX implementation (XLXP 2). Things may have changed in newer WebSphere versions, but it used to be the case that this only occurs if the following two conditions are met:

The class loading policy for the application is set to parent last.
The application contains SJSXP.

One option is therefore to change your application so that at least one of these conditions is no longer met. If that's not possible because the code in your application somehow relies on them, then your best bet is to try switching to another SJSXP version.
