Random shot in the dark given the minimal date provided :) Does it
look like this:

INFO [http-nio-8080-exec-3]
org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.service Error parsing HTTP
request header
 Note: further occurrences of HTTP request parsing errors will be
logged at DEBUG level.
 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid character found in the
request target. The valid characters are defined in RFC 7230 and RFC
3986

If so, then your client is sending you requests with unencoded special
characters that are now disallowed by Tomcat.

I can't answer that without more information. What is throwing the
exception? A stack trace would be helpful.
