Arquillian Warp does not seem to support JSF 1.2 (along with RichFaces 3.3.3) based on my tests, while on the other hand nothing on the internet or any documentation mentions that this support is absent.

For more information, the following exception is observed when running the unit test on a warp-managed tomcat, while the same application runs fine if deployed externally on the same tomcat:
