Appreciate that if anyone can give a solution or an idea to fix this issue.

Answer 1

I guess this has something to do with wrong libraries.

Check out carefully the Struts2 project dependencies.

This

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.opensymphony</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwork</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.3</version>
</dependency>

Should be 2.3.16.1 like the others for example...

Answer 2

Reduce your pom.xml to the following content and allow Maven to resolve missing dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
    <artifactId>struts2-spring-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.16.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-jms</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
