I build my war:s with maven so I'm not sure but you need a way to put the jars on the classpath but so that they're not included in the war when built...
I went and did a fast google on the above issue and saw that there are many bolgs that talks about the same issue...
please see below blogs

Hi Nicklas,
Did as you told took the j*.jars out from the lib folder but still i get the error.
Please let me know if the issue is with the higher version of j*.jars as described in the above blogs.
show your faces-config.xml (and web.xml just in case)
Actually I am having application that uses JSF api's version 1.0 and now I am planning to run the same on JBoss AS 7.1
Solution that you told is fine but my application uses few classes that are depricated(e.g ListboxRenderer.java) in higher version of jsf-*.jar.
And going through many sites I cam to know that the issue is with the duplication of api's.
