Thanks for the suggestion Jean-Gui, after re-compiling using "ant
war", it worked perfectly.  If a war file is the preferred format for
use with Tomcat, why do the docs at
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/DOWNLOAD.html> not mention
anything about this?  I think it'd be very helpful to others if this
was mentioned.  Either that, or some instructions on how to get it to
work properly as a jar file.

In any case, thanks for the help.  I'm still curious as to why I
wasn't able to get it to work as a jar file, but at least I can now
get on with my work, which is the important thing!  Thanks again!
