Unable to access admin-console after removing JSF libraries from JBoss EAP 5

Issue

• We followed the instructions in this article to remove JSF 1.2 jars from JBoss EAP5 to integrate JSF 2.0. However, after removing JSF 1.2, the admin-console fails to load and gives a NoClassDefFoundError message on the page.
• Exception stack trace from the error is provided below:
