org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter classNotFoundException

Question

I have built an application using Struts 2, I tried everything but still getting this issue:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter

I have added these jar files :
asm-3.3
asm-commons-3.3
asm-tree-3.3
commons-io-2.4
commons-lang-2.4
commons-lang3-3.4
commons-logging-1.1.3
commons-logging-api-1.1
freemarker-2.3.23
javassist-3.20.0-GA
ognl-3.1.10
struts2-core-2.5.2
xwork-core-2.1.6

By using deployment assembly I have added the libraries to eclipse by using java build path entries but I am not getting these jars in WEB-INF/lib folder.

            <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>

</web-app>

What should I do to run the server?

Can you check with this link .Also make sure that in your java build path all the libraries are present.That you can check with windows->preference s tab and java build path — Pradeep, Oct 07 '16 at 14:27
if you are using struts2 version 2.5 you need to change from org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter to org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter — Pradeep, Oct 07 '16 at 14:32
