Problems deploying app to WebSphere in EAR, fine via JDeveloper

Question

JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0, WebSphere 7.0.0.17, Windows 2008 server
We have developed some applications that use ADF and are trying to port them to WebSphere. We've done the adding of ADF to WebSphere, and set up WebSphere application connectors in JDeveloper.
When we build our apps in JDeveloper, then deploy to WebSphere directly, they run in WebSphere.
When we take the same applications and deploy them to an EAR file, then install the EAR file in WebSphere, they're not running.
The applications run fine both ways when deployed to WebLogic 10.3.5.
After the EAR deployment when running our application in WebSphere we get
Error 500: javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter [ADFLibraryFilter]: Could not find required filter class - oracle.adf.library.webapp.LibraryFilter.class
I found that that class is in adflibfilter.jar, I manually add that as a test, deploy from the EAR, I get
Error 500: javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter [trinidad]: Could not find required filter class - org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.webapp.TrinidadFilter.class
So I'm thinking that the EAR deployments aren't finding any of the ADF and if I continue I'll be manually adding all of ADF.
Also, this may be a clue, when deploying via an EAR, WebSphere wants us to manually wire up the JDBC references to JDBC resources, but when deploying via JDeveloper that step is handled automatically.
Where should I start?

Hi
I have a few doubts in the deployment. I am using Standalone OC4J as my target App Server. My first doubt is that, do i need to install ADF Runtime Libs. If yes, what will be the location of the ADF libs/jars in the server location.
I am srill getting the error :
2009-09-18 12:25:03.325 WARNING The AdfFacesFilter has not been installed. ADF Faces requires this filter for proper execution.
2009-09-18 12:25:24.340 NOTIFICATION oracle.adf.share.config.ADFConfigFactory No META-INF/adf-config.xml found
Can somebody help me out.
Thanks
