Problems between IDE and Deployment on App Server 8.2

Question

I have an application that I wrote last year using JSC-EA and converted it ti JSC2-1. I can run the application on my development environment SunAppServer 8.2 with no problems.
When I attempt to deploy it to a standalone Sun App Server 8.2 I experience the following:
1) Login page works fine
2) Main menu selection page works fine
3) Results page does not display information.
More details:
Main Menu page consists of:
1) a page with a page fragment that contains a menu.
2) 3 or 4 JSF components
Results page consists of:
1) 2-3 JSF text components (display OK)
2) Same menu page fragment as above (displays OK)
3) Second page fragment that contains a table with components added under program control (does not get displayed in deployment server, but displays fine in IDE server).
Is there ANY possibility that this can be related to migration from JSC2-EA to JSC2-1? If so, what could cause this behavior?
Is there ANY explanation as to why the application displays OK in the IDE (same app server version as deployment) but not in the deployment server?
ANY help is appreciated.
Thanks,

For future references:
this happens to me too and I found that the cause is that the AM server you are going to configure, is already registered into the directory server.
Try running this command (with the obvious parameters substituted)
ldapsearch -B -T -D 'cn=directory manager' -w YOUR_CREDENTIALS -b ou=1.0,ou=iPlanetAMPlatformService,ou=services,YOUR_BASEDN -s base objectclass=* | grep YOUR_SERVERNAMEIf you found that the server you are configuring is listed here try going to AMserver console (if you have another AMserver configured) and browse to Configuration->System Properties->Platforms. If the server is here, remove it, if not, just hit Save (very important).
If this is your first AM and is a first installation you can just get rid of the Directory Server suffix and recreate it with the Top Entry alone.
