Are you really using different versions of the core library and XWork? That would be the problem right there. Struts2 and XWork versions are synchronized.
You are also using a very old version of Struts. The current version is 2.3.24.
If that is not the problem, you are missing a lot of Struts dependencies. The easiest way to make sure you have all the dependencies is to download Struts, look at the sample applications in the apps directory and extract the struts2-blank.war file. The dependencies will be in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Here is the complete list of dependencies for the current release:

asm-3.3.jar
asm-commons-3.3.jar
asm-tree-3.3.jar
commons-fileupload-1.3.1.jar
commons-io-2.2.jar
commons-lang3-3.2.jar
freemarker-2.3.22.jar
javassist-3.11.0.GA.jar
log4j-api-2.2.jar
log4j-core-2.2.jar
ognl-3.0.6.jar
struts2-core-2.3.24.jar
xwork-core-2.3.24.jar
