Having a problem running jheadstart app and adf-faces-demo on wls 8.1 sp4

Question

I have created a very simple jheadstart app in Jdeveloper. Also I have created a project from the adf-faces-demo.
I am now trying to run both applications on weblogic 8.1 sp4
Both applications exhibit the same behavior. When trying to load the index page, the progress bar on the browser indicates that the page is loading (and stays there) and I don't see any error in the output log (except for the message:
Oct 31, 2006 5:46:22 PM oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl _checkTimestamp
INFO: ADF Faces is running with time-stamp checking enabled. This should not be used in a production environment. See the oracle.adf.view.faces.CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION property in WEB-INF/web.xml
Which I understand is harmless.
I have done the following to try to make this work:
Make sure that the application is compiled in JDK 1.4
Add the recommend jlib, lib, and MyFaces jars to the classpath.
Change the extension of the index page to jsp and change the web.xml to:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>demoRedirect</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Alberto,
I noticed you reported this on the JDev forum as well. Deploying ADF-Jhs apps is not different from deploying a plain ADF app, (apart from the Jhs Runtime lib that should be added to the .ear file), so please continue to use the JDev forum to resolve your problems.
You also might want to check the section on WebLogic deployment in the ADF Dev Guide:
