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.
