SEVERE: Error filterStart

My struts.xml file is placed under WEB-INF/classes folder and contains the following content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">
<struts>
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
<package name="myPractice" extends="struts-default">
<action name="login"
class="com.practice.LoginAction"
method="execute">
<result name="success">/Login.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>

And the web.xml file is ::

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">

</web-app>


and used the below jar files ::

commons-fileupload-1.3.jar
commons-io-2.0.1.jar
commons-lang3-3.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
freemarker-2.3.19.jar
javassist-3.11.0.GA.jar
ognl-3.0.6.jar
struts2-core-2.3.15.1.jar
xwork-core-2.3.15.1.jar

Any help would be really great as I am struck and had searched almost every part of google to try and find out what exactly is causing this error.
