Yup. Start your tomcat in command line (./catalina.sh run) and you'll see the error. Most probably a classpath issue. Are you using derby or an external DB?
Aslo, the WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/plexus/application.xml contains the continuum configuration and it relies on some property such as ${appserver.base}. This is typically set in the standalone version and you'll have to configure this yourself for the webapp version. Let us know how you go.
