Weblogc 12.2.1.3 with jersey 2.0 error during deployment

Question

Currently we have developed a jersey 2.0 restful application with the following frameworks:

• jaxrs-ri (2.25.1)
• spring4 (4.3.10)
• jersey-spring3 (2.25.1)

The application works perfectly in tomcat 8.5 & Weblogic 12.1.x servers

However, we got the following error when we tried to deploy it to Weblogic 12.2.1.3

As we don't use any CDI implementation (HK2 & Spring's DI are used), we then tried to add the beans.xml under the WEB-INFO folder and let the server don't scan our application.

<?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>

and we also tried to Disabling Implicit Bean Discovery in our Weblogic.

All attempts still cannot solve the error. Please kindly help.

Updates 1

We tried to create a empty services folder (Don't why it is needed, can anyone please explain.) under the META-INF and add the following in the weblogic.xml

<prefer-application-resources>
    <resource-name>META-INF/services/javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer</resource-name>
    <resource-name>META-INF/services/javax.ws.rs.ext.RuntimeDelegate</resource-name>

    <!-- jersey  -->
    <resource-name>META-INF/services/org.glassfish.jersey.*</resource-name>
    <resource-name>org.glassfish.jersey.*</resource-name>
    <resource-name>jersey.repackaged.*</resource-name>

    <!-- hk2 -->
    <resource-name>META-INF/services/org.glassfish.hk2.*</resource-name>
</prefer-application-resources>

Now the application can run properly with its own jersey 2.25.1 library instead of Weblogic 12.2 pre-built libs (2.21.x). However, there is another WARN message appear, not sure if it is an issue..

<BEA-2192510> <Cannot add Jersey servlet for application class org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig because ApplicationPath annotation is not set on it.>

The @ApplicationPath is already set

@ApplicationPath("/api")
public class MyResourceConfig extends ResourceConfig {
    public MyResourceConfig() {

        register(JacksonFeature.class);
        ...

    }
}
