STEPS

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Tested the managed bean bean in the ADF application in the IntegratedWebLogic Server and confirmed it runs without issues.
   
   
2. Deploy the ADF application as shared library to the WC_Spaces managed server.
   
   
3. Call the managed bean from a page.
   This will fail and the WC_Spaces-diagnostic.log will show the error.
