Tomcat-8.0.44: Why a SEVERE log "One or more Filters failed to start"

Question

I installed Tomcat-8.0.44 and put a war file named bimserver.war in webapps folder. But when I ran the startup.bat routine, I got two Severe Log info:

24-May-2017 01:15:53.065 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal One or more Filters failed to start. Full details will be found in the appropriate container log file
24-May-2017 01:15:53.068 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal Context [/bimserver] startup failed due to previous errors

It seems that some filters of tomcat failed to start. This prevented bimserver from starting. How should the filters be configured?

Answer 1

As your log suggests (Full details will be found in the appropriate container log file), you should check Tomcat log, and then you can find the message starts with Exception starting filter ....
