Solution:
You need to create weblogic.xml file inside WEB-INF and make following entry in it

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<weblogic-web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.0/weblogic-web-app.xsd"
      xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app">
   

    <library-ref>
        <library-name>adf.oracle.domain.webapp</library-name>
    </library-ref>
    <library-ref>
        <library-name>jstl</library-name>
        <specification-version>1.2</specification-version>
    </library-ref>
    <library-ref>
        <library-name>jsf</library-name>
        <specification-version>1.2</specification-version>
        <exact-match>true</exact-match>
    </library-ref>


</weblogic-web-app>


Once done you can deploy your application.


Thats all.
