"oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException" when deploying composites via Ant

Problem:

We deployed some SOA Suite 11g composites using Ant as follows:

ant -f ant-sca-deploy.xml -DserverURL=http://oradev:8001 -DsarLocation=$CODE_DIR/HelloWorld/deploy/sca_HelloWorld_rev1.0.jar -Dpartition=default -Doverwrite=true -Duser=$USERNAME -Dpassword=$PASSWORD -Dconfigplan=cfgplan_dev.xml

You may get one of the following errors:

[deployComposite] ---->response code=500, error:Error during deployment: Error occurs in applying deployment plan /tmp/sar_base_dir_1292266763149/cfgplan_dev.xml to sar file: /tmp/sar_base_dir_1292266763149/sca_HelloWorld_rev1.0.jar.: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Can not find definition for element 'soaConfigPlan'.
