Please help. I am having the exact same problem. I have always been able to use tomcat from Eclipse. I have not changed anything in Tomcat, and now all of a sudden I get SEVER: Error filterStart as well. There is no other information in the logs or anything.

Thanks.

I had the same problem. If your code has an error and it will not compile than starting Tomcat will give you this error. Read ON, you might not know you have an error 🙂

In my case I was updating the libraries used in project’s Java Build Path, for some reason Eclipse let me add the user library I created, but it did not include all the JARS that I had in that library. My Project is set to build automatically so it should have rebuilt the project and show all the bad imports and errors but it did not. After I did a Clean on a project, than all the errors came up. Taking care of those error and re-deploying the project to Tomcat, allowed me to start it normally.

Hope it helps.

I have encountered this problem a lot of times and the problem is not in web.xml. Its always in struts.xml. Check to see if your all your classes exist. This will surely solve the problem.

Thanks..I hope it helped.

Hi,
I had the same Problem.
1. check in your IDE with what java Version you compile.
2. check on server which javaversion is used by tomcat

I installed java1.5 (apt-get install jsun-java5-jdk) and then I edited
/etc/init.d/tomcat5
in Row JDK_DIRS the installation path of java-1.5.0-sun has to be plased at first position

then
set java version too
Java Version setzen
>update-alternatives –config java
>update-alternatives –config javac

Problems solved:
– SEVERE: Error filterStart
– Servlet Allocation Error

cheers
