It happened with me, and I solve it by recreating the artifacts from Intellij settings. If you use Intellij, you need to recreate the Artifacts for your web project again.

• Go to File --> Project structure
• Select Artifacts from the left tab.
• Remove the current artifacts by select the artifacts and click on (-) button at the top of your Artifacts.
• Add new artifacts, first war exploded then war archive.
• Enjoy.
