Summit_rewritten_11g_oct_2008.zip : using 11.1.1.0.0 or 11.1.1.0.1

Question

hi
Please consider the application in summit_rewritten_11g_oct_2008.zip, described in redeveloping_forms_in_adf_11g.pdf,
titled "Case Study: Redeveloping an Oracle Forms application using Oracle JDeveloper 11g and Oracle ADF 11g"
see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/4gl/papers/summit_rewritten_11g_oct_2008.zip
and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/4gl/papers/redeveloping_forms_in_adf_11g.pdf
After unzipping the file summit_rewritten_11g_oct_2008.zip and opening "Summit_8_Oct_2008_0936.jws" in JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.0, no files are changed.
If I unzip summit_rewritten_11g_oct_2008.zip and open "Summit_8_Oct_2008_0936.jws" in JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.1, a typical "migration" happens that updates the "jws" and "jpr" files to the new file format.
(1) The "Message - Log" also showed this:
****XMLEF MIGRATION FRAMEWORK****
Following files were successfully migrated by the migrator: ADF Faces LOV Migrator
<path>\ViewController\public_html\ordersPage.jspxAnd the file was changed from
<!-- ... -->
            <af:inputListOfValues id="salesRepIdId"
                                        popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.label}"
                                        value="#{bindings.SalesRepId.inputValue}"
                                        label="#{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.label}"
                                        model="#{bindings.SalesRepId.listOfValuesModel}"
                                        required="#{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.mandatory}"
                                        columns="#{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.displayWidth}"
                                        shortDesc="#{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.tooltip}">
                    <f:validator binding="#{bindings.SalesRepId.validator}"/>
                    <af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false"
                                      pattern="#{bindings.SalesRepId.format}"/>
                  </af:inputListOfValues>
<!-- ... -->to this, note the "hints.hints" in some EL expressions
<!-- ... -->
                  <af:inputListOfValues id="salesRepIdId"

                                        label="#{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.hints.label}"
                                        model="#{bindings.SalesRepId.listOfValuesModel}"
                                        required="#{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.hints.mandatory}"
                                        columns="#{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.hints.displayWidth}"
                                        shortDesc="#{bindings.SalesRepId.hints.tooltip}">
                    <f:validator binding="#{bindings.SalesRepId.validator}"/>
                    <af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false"
                                      pattern="#{bindings.SalesRepId.format}"/>
                  </af:inputListOfValues>
<!-- ... -->
note : When I run this in JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.1 the label for this LOV does not appear on the page, while it does using JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.0 .
(2) Also the weblogic-application.xml file changed from
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<weblogic-application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application.xsd" xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application">
  <library-ref>
    <library-name>adf.oracle.domain</library-name>
  </library-ref>
</weblogic-application>to
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<weblogic-application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application.xsd" xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application">
  <listener>
    <listener-class>oracle.adf.share.weblogic.listeners.ADFApplicationLifecycleListener</listener-class>
  </listener>
  <library-ref>
    <library-name>adf.oracle.domain</library-name>
  </library-ref>
</weblogic-application>Why are the changes in (1) and (2) needed?
many thanks

Thanks for your reply Frank.
(1) Maybe you can comment on what the "XMLEF MIGRATION FRAMEWORK" really is?
... to be honest I don't even see where the LOV entries differ ;-) . In my initial post I pointed out where to look:
... note the "hints.hints" in some EL expressions(2) SDO as in "Service Data Objects" (see also "Service Component Architecture and Service Data Objects")?
