Deploying ADF Application to OC4J Using Jdeveloper

Question

I tried to deploy an application to standalone OC4J using Jdeveloper, through a process similar to this:
Deploying a Web Application
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/10131/deployment/deployment.htm
[making WAR for view-controller, JAR for model, and EAR in a new project]
First I got some errors relating to Apache Log4J jars (org/apache/log4j/Category). The problems are talked over in this forum and oc4j forum. I had to download apache-log4j-1.2.15.zip and add the jar file manually to the project and remove the checks in the WAR file descriptor.
The application was deployed after some attempts successfully, but, now the first page that appears after launching the application is my Home.jspx which is not the same page which comes up when I use embedded OC4J to run the application. The Home.jspx is blank and when I enter a link manually:
http://farbod:8888/TestApp/faces/pages/Employees.jspx
instead of http://farbod:8888/TestApp/faces/pages/Home.jspx
I receive this error:
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.
Is there anything wrong with my deployment?
(I just mentioned my initial problem with deployment to know if that gives a clue.
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3, OC4J 10.1.3.3)
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
hard to say from the error message. What if you create a EAR file that includes the WAR file and then deploy it through Enterprise Manager in OC4J ? Also, having a separate deployment project bears the risk fo missing dependencies. Ensure that the project has the project's dependency property set to all contributing projects
