 From the log, the problem is that the Wrapper is not able to launch the 
"java" command.
Unless you have specified a user to run as in the shell script, the 
Wrapper will be running
as root.   My guess is that java is not on the PATH of the root user.

The easiest way to fix this is to use a JAVA_HOME environment variable:
set.JAVA_HOME=/opt/java_sdk_xyz
wrapper.java.command=%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java

You can either set it in your wrapper.conf file as above, or define it 
for the root user.

What browser / version are you using?  The font should not be small :-/
