You should consider that Standard and Standard One are limited to 4 and
2 processors respectively.
You should downgrade your installations to match your licences, AFAIK
but the only supported way to do that is export from the EE database and
import into a standard edition database.

No. The oracle licence definitions page has something to say on what it
calls "multiplexing hardware or software". The number of users in your
case would be the number of users connecting to tomcat.

I don't think so. The OTN development licence allows you to use most
oracle products for free, up to the point of deployment of an
application. Once you deploy you have to pay for licences. My
interpretation of this is that once you have deployed your application,
all test and development is in support of that production application
and must be licensed.
IANAL, and I haven't had to put this to the test (I haven't worked at a
green field oracle site since the OTN licence became available) but that
seems to me be a reasonable interpretation. I'd be interested to hear
from anyone who HAS put it to the test.
