ClassNotFoundException when deploying to WLS with new JDev 11g patch

Question

I installed WLS and patched WLS with the new ADF lib ,installed the new jdev 11g , everything went well
but when I want to deploy an application to the WLS I got this error .
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.adf.share.weblogic.listeners.ADFApplicationLifecycleListener
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)

at weblogic.security.service.SecurityManager.runAs(Unknown Source)
Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace

I had to comment out listerner-class ientry n the weblogic-application.xml, then it works.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<weblogic-application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application.xsd" xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application">

Hi,
as read in this thread : Re: Always fail to deploy to server when (Create a Simple EJB Session Bean )

This is a known JDeveloper 11g bug. If you look into the packaged EAR file, JDeveloper inserts some entries into the weblogic-application.xml file to register some listeners to perform some internal tasks it needs to deal with.
The issue is that these classes are part of the ADF runtime and installed as part of the provided ADF domain. They are not provided as part of a standard WLS installation. Thus when you deploy a JDeveloper 11g packaged application to a non ADF augmented WLS 10.3 instance, you get a Classloading error on deployment because the specific listener-classes are not available.
The relevant bug # for this is:
BUG#7487416
EAR FILE PACKAGING SETS FIXED DEPENDENCY ON
JPSAPPLICATIONLIFECYCLELISTENER
I believe a fix for this will be provided in the first patchset for JDeveloper 11g.
In the meantime, if you want to workaround it, extract the weblogic-application.xml file from the EAR file, manually remove the listener entries, put the modified file back into the EAR file and then deploy it.

It solved the problem for me.
But you should now get another problem, like some of us on this forum : ADFLogger will be missing. If so, please report to this thread for helping us : Standalone WLS server instance deployment failure - missing ADFLogger
