Issue :
I am trying to run WildFly 8.2.0 with myFaces 2.2.8 as default JSF implementation. Installion is completed . The details for this are on another SO question :
Installing Apache MyFaces 2 on WildFly 8.2.0
When my application war is deployed on WildFly 8.2.0 , the following exception is thrown and deployment doesn't complete.

I have searched for the issue on web and found out same problem here http://www.hivmr.com/db/3jsapc8j3xz3js1dsasjxjpkx37379cm , but no solution has been found.
The issue can be described as :
1) MyFaces uses Tomcat7AnnotationInjectionProvider for annotation processing which requires org.apache.tomcat.InstanceManager which is not available.
2) One solution is to use CDIAnnotationDelegateInjectionProvider , but how to configure it in MyFaces is not known ?
3) How to hook MyFaces in WildFly so that JBOSS Weld can process annotations instead of MyFaces supplied class ?
