i am trying to use JSF 2.2.2 on Jboss 7.1.1.Final i followed the solution 1 in this link: http://www.mastertheboss.com/jsf/installing-jsf-22-on-jboss-as-7 that is based on replacing the current jboss jsf libraries and after that i changed the faces config. but when trying to run the application i am getting the following exception:

i removed the configuration for jsf in project facets and still get same error, please advise how can i fix that.

UPDATE: i found out that the issue is in eclipse deploy to jboss, since i tried to install the application with maven and copied the war to deployments folder and launched standalone.bat file and the application was started successfully with no errors.

In Eclipse, go to Project Properties -> Project Facets -> Java Server Faces, and set type to Library Provided by Target Runtime.
