Error deploying Alfresco 1.4 on top of tomcat

I am getting several errors deploying the enterprise trial license version 1.4 of Alfresco on top of tomcat. Any simple hints would be helpful, thanks.

Thanks Dave,

I will double check that, although I have done that!!.

Thanks Dave,
I wanted to try localizing Alfresco in Japanese. How can I do that? Does it has a different Japanese version or creating a user inside it can change its settings to be localized in Japanese?

For the moment, the user can select on the login page the desired UI Locale. If you're using the Tomcat bundle, the files for Japanese internationalization are already included. You can then follow the indications given in the Wiki:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Simple_Customisations#Adding_Languages

Otherwise, just download the Tomcat bundle - unzip - and look for the japanese language pack in alfresco-1.4Preview/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/messages folder.
Copy them to your install (same path), apply the changes described in the Wiki (web-client-config-custom.xml is in the shared/classes/alfresco/extension folder)

As far as I know language packs are the ones shipped with the 1.3 version since 1.4 is not final. Therefore, expect some translation items to be missing.
