grails app wont start on tomcat

My grails app works fine during debuging it on localhost. After 'war' and deploying it on tomcat, it wont start with the following error:

There is another grails application on this tomcat which works fine with almost the same configuration. Does it miss some libraries?

==== EDIT: grailsConfig.groovy ======

grails.servlet.version = "2.5" // Change depending on target container compliance (2.5 or 3.0)
grails.project.class.dir = "target/classes"
grails.project.test.class.dir = "target/test-classes"
grails.project.test.reports.dir = "target/test-reports"
grails.project.target.level = 1.6
grails.project.source.level = 1.6
grails.project.war.file = "target/hyperdrive_test.war"

grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
    // inherit Grails' default dependencies
    inherits("global") {
        // uncomment to disable ehcache
        // excludes 'ehcache'
    }
    log "warn" // log level of Ivy resolver, either 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug' or 'verbose'
    checksums true // Whether to verify checksums on resolve
    legacyResolve false

    repositories {
        inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins
        grailsPlugins()
        grailsHome()
        grailsCentral()
        mavenCentral()

        // uncomment these to enable remote dependency resolution from public Maven repositories
        mavenRepo "http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org"
        mavenRepo "http://repository.codehaus.org"
        mavenRepo "http://download.java.net/maven/2/"
        mavenRepo "http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/"
    }
    dependencies {
        // specify dependencies here under either 'build', 'compile', 'runtime', 'test' or 'provided' scopes eg.
        runtime "postgresql:postgresql:9.1-901.jdbc4"
        // runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.16'
    }

    plugins {
        runtime ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
        runtime ":jquery:1.7.1"
        runtime ":resources:1.1.6"
        runtime ":database-migration:1.3.2"

        // Uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable additional resources capabilities
        //runtime ":zipped-resources:1.0"
        //runtime ":cached-resources:1.0"
        //runtime ":yui-minify-resources:0.1.4"
        build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"
    }
}

You seem to be missing the JSON Simple library, which is being used somewhere in your app -- maybe it's a transitive dependency of some other library.

Try adding:

compile 'org.json-simple:json-simple:1.1.1'

to your BuildConfig.groovy in the dependencies block.

You may also try to check out the output of grails dependency-report.
