You should not force GlassFish to use a different version. GlassFish has
been certified with a particular version. What you really want is the
ability to use a different version in your application. Because of the
way woodstox module is packaged in glassfish, you can't use a different
version in your application. File a bug under packaging category and it
should be fairly straight forward to fix.
