problem deploying application on websphere community edition

[Pramod Chris]

Hi,
I have a problem deploying an ear on the Websphere Community edition 2.1.
The ear has a 'lib' folder which has third party libraries (all are jar files). the manifest file in some of these have a classpath that references other jars but are not found in the ears lib folder.
whenever i try deploying on the Websphere community edition, i get the following error...whereas it works fine on websphere 6.1 or weblogic etc.

for example, the lib folder has jakarta-commons-logging-1.0.3.jar which internally has log4j.jar defined in its manifest file classpath, but it is not found in the lib folder of my ear.

 Determining complete manifest classpath unsuccessful:
org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Determining complete manifest classpath unsuccessful:
