I believe the correct approach is to use app server agnostic JAX-RS application deployment. No need to mess with any JBoss configuration. All you need is, extend javax.ws.rs.core.Application in your JAX-RS web application. You can find an example here. Then, you need to put this in your web.xml.

  Jersey Web Application
  com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer
  
    javax.ws.rs.Application
    jersey.MyApplication

    resteasy.scan.providers
    false
  
  
    resteasy.scan.resources
    false

Package scanning mechanism does not work correctly on JBoss 7.x. I have tested this approach successfully in JBoss 7.0.2.Final and JBoss 7.1.1.Final.
