That was it!!!! Thank you very much. That was enough of a clue to get me thinking. I had moved the WEB-INF directory underneath the ROOT directory. I did that while "cleaning up" (mea culpa). I completely forgot about that until you gave me the clue. So I put the WEB-INF back under the root, and now it works.
