This are the jar files you are needed to run Struts 2

1) commons-logging-1.1
2) freemarker-2.3.8
3) ognl-2.6.11
4) struts2-core-2.0.6
5) xwork-2.0.1

[David Newton]

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.RequestContext 

Struts 2.1 added a dependency on commons-fileupload and commons-io (even if you're not uploading files).

[David Newton]

Please start new threads for new topics.

It looks like you have multiple Struts 2 versions; that's bad.

[Roye Okupe]

How can I get rid of one of them?

[Roye Okupe]

Ok, I took out the older lib of struts 2.0. but when i run in netbeans I still get tomcat log errors:

[Ankit Garg]

I think you still have two versions of struts in your app - struts 2.1.6 and struts 2.0.11.

[Edit]

Did you clean and build your project after you removed the older struts library??

[Roye Okupe]

Sorry I posted the same log.. This is the New Log, PLEASE HELP SO confused:

Why is there an S2 library in your JRE ext dir?

[Ankit Garg]

If you are using struts 2 library in the %JRE%/lib/ext directory only to compile your project, then please consider using a build script or IDE for your project which will make building of your application easier...

[Roye Okupe]

I took out the struts 2 libs out of the JRE/lib/ext folder. I only have the struts2 libs under my web/WEBINF/lib folder and my projects main libraries folder, but now i am getting a new FileUploadException along with some previos errors here's the Log, Thank you guys so much for the help:

Well looks like i solved the problem i added the commons-fileupload.xxx.jar file to my libraries and it worked.. But more importantly i would like to know why those files where needed, so in the future when another proble arises i dont just bug other people unessacarily.. can someone please explain why struts2 application needs does jar files with the Netbneans IDE? I am very new to struts2 so am just making sure i get on the right path. ( i am quite familiar with Java and JavaEE, am not a pro yet but i have a good understanding of the different aspects)

This is already answered
