JSF EAR deployment issue on JBOSS - class not found

Question

I am migrating an application from Websphere to JBOSS EAP 6.1. When I try and deploy, I get the following error:-

12:57:49,271 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-1) MSC000001:      Failed to start service jboss.deployment.subunit."BordereauxPortal2EAR_test_8May_v2.ear"."BordereauxPortal.war".POST_MODULE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.subunit."BordereauxPortal2EAR_test_8May_v2.ear"."BordereauxPortal.war".POST_MODULE: JBAS018733: Failed to process phase POST_MODULE of subdeployment "BordereauxPortal.war" of deployment "BordereauxPortal2EAR_test_8May_v2.ear"

Now I suspect that this is a badly constructed app and that it references the UIComponent in way that it shouldn't and the classpath is thus not right to find the class? Any advice on where to start looking to find out more info much appreciated!

Some more details after coment:- I am using JBOSS EAP 6.1

I have resolved this - it was my misunderstanding of JBOSS 7 - thanks to @jgitter for help.

I had assumed JSF support was being added but found that adding this to the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file allowed it to be deployed OK. Still not sure if its needed in both places.

<deployment> 
<dependencies>
 <module name="javax.faces.api" slot="main"/>
  <module name="com.sun.jsf-impl" slot="main"/>
</dependencies>
</deployment>
<sub-deployment name="myWebApp.war">
<dependencies>
 <module name="javax.faces.api" slot="main"/>
  <module name="com.sun.jsf-impl" slot="main"/>
</dependencies> 
</sub-deployment>
