I get the same error accessing my admin console, too. The demo.war produced the following stack for me. All of my other WAR files deploy fine and work. I have openSSO deployed in my instance.
I am on OSX and JDK 1.5. I also get the same thing with my Solaris SPARC and JDK 1.5
exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: PWC1391: Servlet.init() for servlet FacesServlet threw exception
