Update: Another important thing to note here is if I use eclipse plugin for IceFaces then application builds fine and deployments works great with JBoss 6 but if I remove those plugins and try to add jars in build path then nasty behavior as mentioned above begins, any suggestions or similar experience?

Looks like there is some issue with class loading mechanism that is causing some hickups here but somehow i am not able to figure it out.

Make sure you have all the following jars in the Web-Inf/lib folder
commons-logging-1.1.jar
icefaces-3.3.0.jar
icefaces-ace-3.3.0.jar
icefaces-compat-3.3.0.jar
icepush-3.3.0.jar
javax.servlet-api-3.0.1.jar
jstl-1.2.jar
