I've fixed the data issues you mentioned. The title length was an obvious bug, and there is certainly no harm in starting actor ids at 1 instead 1 of 0. I just tried and had no problem running the DVD Store on tomcat. I didn't switch to mysql, so that could be a factor. I'll have to play with it a bit as I want to understand the issue rather than just hacking at the config files.
