REST server war deployment problem for standalone REST server

When running standalone infinispan REST server (only the REST server creates the DefaultCacheManager)
the method org.infinispan.rest.StartupListener.getMcInjectedCacheManager()
fails and results in an ERROR log message
org.jboss.kernel.spi.registry.KernelRegistryEntryNotFoundException: Entry not found with name: DefaultCacheManager
at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.registry.AbstractKernelRegistry.getEntry(AbstractKernelRegistry.java:96)
the problem is that the method
org.jboss.kernel.spi.registry.KernelRegistry.getEntry
invoked via reflection
doesn't return null when an entry isn't found but rather throws KernelRegistryEntryNotFoundException
which is not handled by the code in getMcInjectedCacheManager()
