Unable to start OC4J standalone server.

Question

Hi
I have just started using Oracle 10g Portal Server. I have downladed the OC4J standalone and have installed at D:\JDeveloper\oc4j following the instructions of running the admin.jar creating the password. When I try starting the OC4J initializing it works fine starts the server with the message
05/12/29 12:21:11 Oracle Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.3.0.0) - Developer Preview 4 initialized
But when I try to deploy a war file which I have created externally with the entries in aplication.xml
<web-module id="mywar" path="../applications/mywar.war" />
and default-web-site.xml
<web-app application="default" name="mywar" root="/technology/mywar" />
The server never starts up just hangs up with the message
Starting OC4J from D:\JDeveloper\oc4j\j2ee\home ...
If the entries are removed the server starts as usual.
Can anyone let me know where is the problem I need to look at, because the war file works fine if deployed in tomcat or weblogic.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As you asked me it is a simple war deployment. with the folder structure as
simpleWar->index.jsp
simpleWar->META-INF->application.xml
simpleWar->WEB-INF->classes
simpleWar->WEB-INF->lib
simpleWar->WEB-INF->tld
simpleWar->WEB-INF->struts-config.xml
simpleWar->WEB-INF->validation.xml
simpleWar->WEB-INF->validator-rules.xml
simpleWar->WEB-INF->web.xml
and the war file that I am creating is simpleWar.war.
