You can still create the file faces-config.xml and put in WEB-INF folder. The header of your faces-config.xml should look like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
              version="2.0">

   // Your configuration here

</faces-config>

Notice that the version is now 2.0.
