Resolution:

The exception occurs due to an error in the JSF-specific configuration file, faces-config.xml, which must comply with XML rules for well-formed-ness and validity. Check for an incorrectly terminated XML element or an incorrectly spelled element, or other such errors in the faces-config.xml

The error message in the Server console log also pin-points the line number where the error has occured, fairly well.
