have you tried using:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>org.apache.felix.framework</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
to tell Maven to exclude the transitive servlet dependency?
