Grails deployment on Tomcat

Question

I am trying to deploy a Grails app using Tomcat 6.0. When I use the db packaged with Grails it works fine. However, when I use PostgreSQL I get a status 404 error.

The log give me the following:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

As requested here is the datasource.config:

dataSource {
        pooled = true
        driverClassName = "org.postgresql.Driver"
}
hibernate {
    cache.use_second_level_cache=true
    cache.use_query_cache=true
    cache.provider_class = 'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheProvider'
}

environments {
    development {
        dataSource {
            dbCreate = "create-drop" // one of 'create', 'create-drop','update'
            url = "jdbc:postgresql:Test"
                        username = "postgres"
                        password = "highpoint"
        }
    }
    test {
            dataSource {
            dbCreate = "update"
            url = "jdbc:postgresql:Test"
                        username = "postgres"
                        password = "highpoint"
        }
    }
    production {
        dataSource {
            dbCreate = "create-drop"
            url = "jdbc:postgresql:Test"
                        username = "postgres"
                        password = "highpoint"
        }
    }
 }

Here is the buildconfig file:

grails.project.class.dir = "target/classes"
grails.project.test.class.dir = "target/test-classes"
grails.project.test.reports.dir = "target/test-reports"
//grails.project.war.file = "target/${appName}-${appVersion}.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'
    repositories {
        grailsPlugins()
        grailsHome()
        grailsCentral()

        // uncomment the below to enable remote dependency resolution
        // from public Maven repositories
        //mavenLocal()
        //mavenCentral()
        //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 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.13'
    }
}

After making changes to the datasource and config files as suggested by Oliver I get the following result: I do not get the 404 error anymore, but Tomcat now hangs and do not display the website. The error log gives me the following error:

Nov 18, 2011 1:03:01 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDirectory
