500 Internal Server Error running SRList.jsp from ADFBC_tutorial (OTN)

Question

Hello!
I am running through the JDeveloper totorial (ADFBC_tutorial) posted on OTN. I have gone as far as Chapter 5 but when I run the SRList.jsp page, I get the 500 Internal Server Error:
I have had no issues running through the tutorial in the design time but when I run the app I get the following error:
Error Details are as:

Also, I tried to run the application in debug mode and this is what I find:
1. Unable to find source file for the package oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.application, filename ViewHandlerImpl.java
2. Unable to find source file for the package oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.webapp, filename AdfFacesFilterImpl.java
Am I missing any libraries?
Thanks!

Hi,
if you used a starter workspace then make sure that the adf-faces-impl.jar file and the jsf-impl.jar file in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the ViewLayer project is from the JDeveloper build you use. In JDeveloper you find the adf-faces-impl.jar in the JDeveloper jlib directory and the jsf-impl.jar in the jsf-ri directory
