[SOLVED] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.filterStart Exception starting filter [OCPsoft Rewrite Filter]

I have successfully created a spring boot project which works fines however it fails when I try to deploy it to an external tomcat. Here is my pom XML and below is my application.properties file.

server.servlet.context-path=/School
joinfaces.primefaces.theme=admin
joinfaces.jsf.project-stage=development
joinfaces.primefaces.csp=true
joinfaces.primefaces.font-awesome=true
server.servlet.session.cookie.http-only=true
server.servlet.session.cookie.secure=true
joinfaces.myfaces.clear-input-when-submitted-value-is-null-or-empty=true
spring.datasource.url= jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation=true
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.jpa.show-sql=false
server.error.whitelabel.enabled=false
spring.mvc.throw-exception-if-no-handler-found=true
server.max-http-header-size=10MB
server.port=8443
security.require-ssl=true

and here is the error stack trace am getting when I deploy to external tomcat.

I have no idea what I could be missing or what configuration I should do to make it work.
