It is strange that this error didn't occur with Tomcat 5.5.4 if I am
right with my following assumption:
From my point of view, your address filter
com.mycompany.servlet.AddressFilter must be visible to the Tomcat class
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.
According to the class loader how-to explaining the class loading tree,
such classes that has to be visible to Tomcat classes cannot be placed
in the shared or WebappX directories:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html
Try to put your address filter into the common directory. If I am right
this should work after a server restart.
Best wishes
Lutz
