That will happen if you're actually not using JSF 2.2.

JBoss 7 provides by default JSF 2.1 out the box in flavor of Mojarra 2.1.x. Your pom suggests that you manually upgraded it to Mojarra 2.2.2, which is in turn impossible as it's known that from Mojarra 2.2.x only version 2.2.8 and newer are compatible with JBoss 7 (older versions throw Weld ContextNotActiveException during deployment).

Upgrade it as per instructions in Upgrade JSF / Mojarra in JBoss AS / EAP / WildFly and it should work. And, take the opportunity to migrate the JSF 2.0/2.1 XML namespace domain of java.sun.com to JSF 2.2 XML namespace domain of xmlns.jcp.org. See also Which XML namespace to use with JSF 2.2.
