any suggestions to fix it?

Remove the changes that you made?

Jira has a plugin module for Servlet Filters (https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Servlet+Filter+Plugin+Module). Use this instead.

I see above URL and found example referring "atlassian-plugin.xml" and "com.example.myplugins.helloworld.HelloWorldFilter", I want to understand its development and deployment.

Can I see full working example or related documentation?

Thanks

<servlet-filter name="Hello World Servlet" key="helloWorld" class="com.example.myplugins.helloworld.HelloWorldFilter" location="before-dispatch" weight="200">
        <description>Says Hello World, Australia or your name.</description>
        <url-pattern>/helloworld</url-pattern>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>defaultName</param-name>
            <param-value>Australia</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
    </servlet-filter>

You then hit this URL (http://yourserver/jira/helloworld). The class is a normal servlet.
