I am trying to run a Hello World Struts2 project in Tomcat 6.
I keep getting:

However I do have the required jars for struts2 in the WEB-INF/lib folder for the project.
Jars:
struts-core
xwork
ognl
freemarker
commons-fileupload
commons-io
commons-lang
Any ideas?
I followed an online Struts2 HelloWorld example:
HelloWorld.action class:
package za.co.vine.tutorialspoint.struts2;
public class HelloWorldAction{
private String name;
public String execute() throws Exception {
return "success";
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
HelloWorld.jsp:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello World, <s:property value="name"/>
</body>
</html>
index.jsp:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

<body>
<h1>Hello World From Struts2</h1>
<form action="hello">
<label for="name">Please enter your name</label><br/>
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<input type="submit" value="Say Hello"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Just add the following Jars only in the WEB-INF/lib. Remove all related jars if you don’t have need.
If you dont have these jars then download it.
Here org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher is now deprecated .So Edit your web.xml from
to
I guess this could do the work for you.
