    Your filter configuration is wrong. This is the correct one:

    <filter>
  <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
  <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

    Your filter name is struts while it should be struts2, because in your configuration in <filter> configuration you have a filter named: struts and your are mapping it in <filter-mapping> with a name struts2. This filter is unknown, because there is no filter named struts2. Paste the configuration as above and everything should be fine.
