I’ve just upgraded a confluence instance to 6.13 and am getting this error in my catalina.out log file:
2019-10-08 13:34:21,394 ERROR [localhost-startStop-1] [ContainerBase.[Standalone].[localhost].[/confluence]] log Exception starting filter johnson

Everything else seems look right, all of my config files and confluence-home directory have the correct owners and permissions.
Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
