Deploying a JDeveloper 10.1.3 app to 10.1.2 Server

Question

I am deploying a 10.1.3 JDev app to a 10.1.2 Oracle Application Server on Unix.
I have changed the J2EE version to 1.3 and the JDK version to 1.4, setup my data source on the server and unchecked bundle data sources, setup a connection to the server, setup a new OC4J instance, commented out the following libraries in the application.xml, and included libraries in my deploy. I am not using ADF only JSF. But I cannot get the page to come up.
Libraries commented out in application.xml for this OC4J instance:
<!--library path="../../../BC4J/lib"/-->
<!--library path="../../../jlib/ojmisc.jar"/-->
<!--library path="../../../ord/jlib/ordim.jar"/-->
<!--library path="../../../ord/jlib/ordhttp.jar"/-->
<!--library path="../../../jlib/jdev-cm.jar"/-->
<!--library path="../../../uix/taglib"/-->
Libraries included in the deploy:
Checked and greyed:
JSF
JSTL 1.1
JSTL 1.1 Tags
Commons Logging 1.0.3
Commons Beanutils 1.6.1
Commons Collections 2.1
Commons Digester 1.5
Libraries available and checked:
Oracle JDBC
JSP Runtime
BC4J Oracle Domains
SQLJ Runtime
The message on Enterprise Manager for the application under Servlets/JSPs is:
Name: Faces Servlet
Status: Not Loaded
Type: Servlet
Source: javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet

The Logs show the following:
Application.log shows

This runs fine though on the embedded OC4J with JDK 1.5.

I have tried removing the Standard.jar from the Project Dependancies in the deployment profile and it still gives me the same errors on parsing the 3 files in Standard.jar.
I have ran other non-JSF applications prior to trying to deploy this application.
Any help is very much appreciated
Thanx

Hi,
do you deploy from JDeveloper ? In this case all datasources will be created for you and the libraries are copied as well. If using ADF, make sure the ADF runtime libraries are deployed
