java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/opensymphony/xwork2/config/FileManagerProvider

Question

I have done a project using struts2. Now I am trying to incorporate tiles into my project, so I started learning tiles. I am getting following error in console while building my first sample pages itself.

SEVERE: Exception starting filter struts2

Going over Internet I thought error may be because of jars I am using... So I am posting my jars too.

enter image description here

My struts.xml file is

<?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">

    <action name="*Link" method="{1}" class="com.classes.JustJsps">

        <result name="login"    type="tiles">login  </result>

My tiles.xml file is

</welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

index.jsp

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=welcomeLink.action">

welcomeLink.action returns 'welcome'. What is the mistake I am doing?

May be your missing some jar file in your classpath or project is not compile well. — Yagnesh Agola, Aug 30 '14 at 11:31

If you want to use Tiles 2, you need Struts2-tiles-2-plugin;
If you want to use Tiles 3, you need Struts2-tiles-3-plugin.

Also pay attention to use the right configuration (listener, result, etc.): read this topic for more details.
