Migrating application from websphere to tomcat - Initializer Error

I am migrating an application from a websphere application server to tomcat 7.0.47.

When running the server (tomcat) I have one exception that I cant solve and because of this the application does not start and the mapping does not work. A former employee programmed this application and because of this I am not that familiar with its code.

I belive that the exception

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: This operation needs a license for Saxon-EE

is some kind of result from the first exception.

This is the part in the XML that is causing the trouble: 

    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

The log:

It's a licensing issue with the Saxon-EE XML processor. You can buy a license at their site.

Probably you already have a license that is why it is running on websphere. You need to find the saxon-license.lic file either in the mail of your ex-developer or in the websphere server and then to migrate the license file to tomcat:

 In Tomcat, for example, the license file should be treated in the same way as free-standing (unjarred) classes, and placed in the WEB-INF/classes directory.
