How to have access to ServletRequestAware on struts2-core 2.3.16.1?

Question

I changed my struts2 version from 2.3.14 to 2.3.16.1, it seems that newest version does not support ServletRequestAware and ServletResponseAware anymore, what should I do? I could not find anything online.

<dependency>    
    <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
    <artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.16.1</version>
    <type>jar</type>    
</dependency>

Code

 import org.apache.struts2.interceptor.ServletRequestAware;
 public class MyExample implements ServletRequestAware, ServletResponseAware {

Error

package org.apache.struts2.interceptor does not exist.

When I try to find a dependency for it Maven shows the latest version of Struts2 which is supporting it is 2.3.14!

I need to use struts-jquery-plugin and thats the reason that I should use 2.3.16 above versions, but none of them support ServletRequestAware. — AlexCartio1, Mar 24 '14 at 22:24
my question is if I use the newer versions how can I access ServletRequests — AlexCartio1, Mar 24 '14 at 22:28
Why do you say they don't support ServletRequestAware ? They do, afaik — Andrea Ligios, Mar 24 '14 at 22:57
As mentioned in the question, when I use them, a pre-compiled error will be shown on the imports — AlexCartio1, Mar 24 '14 at 22:58
I'm not sure I understand; that class is packaged in all the 2.3 releases. — Dave Newton, Jul 23 '14 at 18:40

At the Step 3 of Welcome to Struts2 add the following dependency to your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
    <artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
    <version>X.X.X.X</version>
</dependency>

Check the file version X.X.X.X is available in the repository and downloaded to your hard drive.

If I use 2.3.16 or 2.3.16.1 , how can I have access to ServletRequests? – AlexCartio1 Mar 24 '14 at 22:57

You probably have some problem with the libraries included in your project;

Be sure to erase all the old JARs from the classpath (your WAR / EAR and shared libs on the AS;
run Clean Project in your IDE;
download Struts2.3.16.1 from Maven or manually from here;
check out the ServletRequestAware and ServletResponseAware Interfaces at
```
/struts-2.3.16.1/src/core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/interceptor/
```
, exactly where they were before ;)

E.g., output from 2.3.16.3 distribution:

$ jar tvf struts2-core-2.3.16.3.jar | grep ServletRequest
223 Fri May 02 17:23:44 EDT 2014 org/apache/struts2/interceptor/ServletRequestAware.class

It's also in the 2.3.16.1 jars.
