The problem is solved. As usual, it is something absolutely trivial, which does not show up on any debugging tool. The web.xml doctype was for 2.2, not 2.4. What a difference 0.2 makes. Because the doctype was for an older app, it was giving me JSP 1.2 or whatever, when I need JSP 2.0.
This is the curse of Java: most of the hard part of getting an app to run is you spend days or weeks chasing down all these trivial little things, and there's no tool that helps with any of this. Once you have the app running, everything is great. There are amazing debugging tools, etc, but until then, these mystery problems can be a nightmare. I guess that's where experience comes in. It has taken me about 10 days to get a basic EJB 3 + JSF app up and working to where I could sign up and log in. Next time it will take me 10 minutes to do the same.
