Why Apache CXF not being used in WebLogic 12c? - web-services

Question

I need help as I tried many things, I checked the Internet for help for many days but still having the same problem. Please any help would be very appreciated.
I am developing using IDEA Intellij 11.0.2. Inside Intellij works perfectly as CXF is used. I deploy with no error in WebLogic 12c but at runtime, CXF is not used and this is what I need to fix.
I use JDK 1.7.0 plus Apache CXF 2.7.12.
It seems for sure a configuration problem because if I debug my WebService in Intellij with a Thread.dumpStack(), I get the following (perfect! a lot of org.apache.cxf references appear):

But when I debug the WebService in WebLogic with Thread.dumpStack(), I get the following (no references to org.apache.cxf but to weblogic.wsee.jaxws so cxf is not being used!):

Any idea why this is happening ? I tried many things. For instance this link (which it says validated for WebLogic 9.2 but I am using WebLogic 12c):
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/application-server-specific-configuration-guide.html#ApplicationServerSpecificConfigurationGuide-WebLogic
So I have an application.xml, a web-logic-application.xml which includes javax.jws.* as prefer-application-packages. I don't know what else to try. CXF is never used.
Some code (the WebService is just a HelloWorld example, nothing else nothing more):
1) application.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">

<web>

</web>
</module>
</application>
2) weblogic-application.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</application-param>
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>javax.jws.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
</weblogic-application>
3) cxf-servlet.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

4) web.xml

What I am doing wrong ? how should I deploy in WebLogic 12c to have CXF used ?
thanks
