JSF initialization exception

On WAS 7.0 during application startup I sometimes get this exception:

My application uses Seam and JSF and has a faces-config.xml file. Apart from that it utilizes a few frameworks which have bundled faces-config.xml (QuipuKit, MyFaces Tomahawk...). The exception occasionally occurs in anyone of those. Sometimes, there is no exception and the application works.

Do I need to do some WAS configuration, change the packing of my application, configure classloading (using child first for my archive)?

Packing is:

+ test.ear
+ test.war
+ WEB-INF
faces-config.xml
+ lib
quipukit.jar
tomahawk.jar

Hi, is there anything wrong or permissions issue with the faces config file?

C:/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/installedApps/rublevskyNode02Cell/test.ear/test.war/WEB-INF/lib/quipukit.jar!/META-INF/faces-config.xml

Notice the "!" in the path. Is that correct?

Regards,
Brian
