weblogic.utils.compiler.ToolFailureException Weblogic 12.2.1

When deploying my application to Weblogic 12.2.1, I get this error:

weblogic.application.ModuleException:
weblogic.utils.compiler.ToolFailureException: Neither prefer-application-packages  
nor prefer-application-resources can be specified when prefer-web-inf-classes  
is turned on in weblogic.xml

In weblogic.xml, I have set prefer-web-inf-classes to true.

I use JDeveloper to deploy the application. Nowhere in my application's deployment descriptors (web.xml and weblogic-application.xml) do I use prefer-application-packages or prefer-application-resources. Why is Weblogic showing this error?

Regards, Jeroen

Check carefully, based on the documentation over here: Deployment Descriptor Elements, A value specified in the Administration Console will take precedence over a value set manually. So it must have been set somewhere.
