how to deploy JAX-RS application using jersey in websphere 8.5

Question

When I deploy my app.war in websphere 7.0. The restful web service was successful initialized.
But after I upgrade to websphere 8.5 . It failed to deploy the restful web service class.
Below is my app.war's pom.xml for jersey.

    <!-- restful web service -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
        <artifactId>jsr311-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
        <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>asm</groupId>
        <artifactId>asm-all</artifactId>
        <version>3.2</version>
        <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.17</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

     <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-servlet</artifactId>
        <version>1.17</version>
       <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>  

     <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
        <version>1.17</version>
       <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>  

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-json</artifactId>
        <version>1.17</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

Below is my web.xml

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
      <param-value>com.tag.services.testrsws</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rs/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Below is the websphere error log when start the app:

After search by google , some one says it may be webshpere server already contain the asm. So I delete the asm.jar from my app.war WEB-INF/lib. But it still has the error.

Except @Surge advice.
Have you try to create a shared library, and put your asm-all.jar jersery.jar into your library.And specify the shared library to your application.
