Openshift war deployment

Question

This is a OPENSHIFT question! I installed a jenkins server that copies a war file to a Tomcat EWS 3.0 instance, I can see build finishes with success and war is copied over to destination and destination tomcat is started remotely. But I can not see my application coming up and there are NO errors on log files???

Here is some detail;

There are no error messages??? and war is deployed according to the log!!! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Update#1 (4/28/2014) I have been able to change logging level be able to see some errors

Embedding Tomcat CorsFilter in my code solved my problem...
