I get this error when i deployed the WAR file, and try to launch it. Any ideas?

Hi Gergely,

It's seems like missing file cause this problem. Thus, you might want to confirm if the important files downloaded from https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Installing+JIRA+on+Tomcat+6.0+or+7.0#InstallingJIRAonTomcat6.0or7.0-4.UpdateyourTomcatinstallation'slibrariesforJIRA is copied into Tomcat's lib directory ? Then, make sure to delete the JIRA's work directory and restart your Tomcat.

A better option is to install JIRA standalone if you do not have any specific requirement to run JIRA using WAR deployment.
