WLS 8.1 + MyFaces 1.1 = java.lang.IllegalStateException ?

Question

We are seeing an Exception from time to time on WLS 8.1 in a JSF application that looks like this:
<Aug 1, 2008 8:02:36 AM CDT> <Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101017> <[ServletContext(id=1781688286,name=as_oo_webapp,context-path=/as_oo_webapp)] Root cause of ServletException.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Factories configured for this Application - typically this is because a context listener is not setup in your web.xml.
A typical config looks like this;
<listener>
  <listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
  at javax.faces.FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.java(Compiled Code))
We are using MyFaces 1.1 for JSF. We think this is a known issue with MyFaces 1.1 and WLS, but we are not sure - and we are not sure if there is any solution.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
thanks

Hi,
we found the problem. One missing entry in one META-INF. We don´t know, why this
was no problem with WLS 6.1 / 7.0.

Hi there,
we are moving from WLS 6.1 / 7.0 to WLS 8.1 and we have a BIG problem:
We get
everywhere java.lang.NoClassDefFoundErrors on the server.
Our Project consists of more than 20 subprojects (1 EJB, 3 WEB, the rest
utility-projects)
plus some libraries (struts etc.), which are all bundeled into our EAR.
In our
EAR the projects make references to all needed projects/libraries via
META-INF.
This workls flawless on WLS 6.1 / WLS 7.0 but crashes under 8.1.
Must we declare these references in another way, not via META-INF?
Any suggestions ?
Kind regards
