Please provide with some solution, Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You are missing commons-lang3-3.1.jar (needed in Struts 2.3, not in lower versions).

You can (and should) use it along with commons-lang-2.6.jar, because their packages are different.

Look in the Apache documentation to see all the Struts2 dependencies.

Download link for both commons-lang versions.

Answer 2

please make sure that your struts.xml action class mapping is correct
