I've a gradle project which uses hibernate > 4 . If I run my war file in Apache tomcat, I don't get any error. But when I'm deploying it in Wildfly 8.2 , I get the following exception

I just added a exclude in my Gradle file like
runtime.exclude group: "dom4j"
Now when I run gradle build, dom4j.jar is not created in the war file. Now I can run my deploy and run my project successfully on Wildfly 8.2 without any error. But the real problem starts here.
One of the feature in my project is that, it'll copy a file.xlsm to anotherfile.xlsm where I'm using jars like Apache Poi for those purposes. Here, Apache Poi is trying to access a method in dom4j.jar during file processing, it results in the following error
18:40:13,261 ERROR [io.undertow.request] (default task-29) UT005023: Exception handling request to /app/parentPath/myAction: org.springframework.web.util.NestedSe
rvletException: Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/DocumentException
at org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.triggerAfterCompletionWithError(DispatcherServlet.java:1287) [spring-webmvc-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar:4.1.4
.RELEASE]
Any ideas how I can permanently use dom4j.jar inside my classpath? I've searched for many question and most of them suggested to remove dom4j from classpath. I do successfully run my program by removing it from classpath but it results in the above error during excel file processing. Wasted more than a day on this..!! IS it possible to include dom4j.jar in my classpath?
