I have setup a project which is a combo of Struts2 + Springs + JPA.
I recently came across the Struts2-Jquery Plugin
Using this plugin (struts2-jquery-plugin-3.5.1.jar) in my project I got an error
Unable to load jar:file:/H:/My%20Project/phase1/build/web/WEB-INF/lib/struts2-jquery-plugin-3.5.1.jar!/struts-plugin.xml - Class: java.net.PlainSocketImpl

The solution to this particular error was given here as Struts2 DTD problem.
Acting in the solution given in the above link.. updated three libraries in my webapp lib folder:
When trying to deploy after this update I got this stacktrace

Can anyone give me a pointer where I am going wrong ?
You need to add the commons-lang3-3.x.jar to your classpath for the filter to run.
You must ensure you don't have multiple versions of commons-lang3-x.x.jar too.
commons-lang3-x.x.jar and commons-lang-x.x.jar instead can coexist in the same classpath, because the package is different (they did it on purpose ;)
This can be known, because of NoClassDefFoundError:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils.
which occurs mostly in two cases:
The lang3 in the package means that the StringUtils class missing is from common-lang3-*.jar, not from common-lang-*.jar.
