Error deploying to new 10.1.3.4 App Server - "Error instantiate servlet..."

Question

Hello all,
Your help would be greatly appreciated finding the root cause of this error. I'm trying to deploy your run of the mill .war to a newly installed Oracle Application Server version 10.1.3.4. The deployment fails at the very end with the exception below. The app server is running on RHEL 4.7. I built the war first with JDEV 11g, and then built it from Netbeans to try and make sure JDEV 11g wasn't doing something funny to the war. Both times, after deploying I receive the error below. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm not using ADF or anything in particular like that. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide. -- Jason

"Not really. You can exclude the data-sources.xml from the EAR file and rely on the setup of the Global Datasource, created before deployment.
--olaf"
Thanks. Yes I did try this but when I setup the datasource via the datasources tab within the console I still received the error. This may have been due to an error on my part but I can't be sure as i've tried all sorts of different approaches over the last few days. I initially didn't have a datasource.xml so there wasn't one to exclude (via the deploy properties in Jdev) I had relied on Jdeveloper to setup the datasource via my connections. I read somewhere that Jdev does this fduring deploy and indeed it works fine for my embedded oc4j and when deplolying from Jdeveloper 10.1.2 so it would seem odd that the same approach doesn't work for Jdeveloper 10.1.3.
Surely the release notes regarding the password issue is the reason why I can't deploy from Jdev 10.1.3.4 to app server 10.1.2?
The release notes say that a patch is due to fix the issue with password indirection, Olaf do you know where I can get this?
Also how do I setup Jdev not to write the datasources during deployment? If I don't have a datasources.xml then there is nothiing to exclude. Is there a setting somewhere in Jdev 10.1.3.4?
