I have included the struts-default.xml in init-param in web.xml as suggested by some posts.

Still it is not working!!

Am I missing anything?

web.xml is similar as below

<?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">

   <display-name>Struts 2</display-name>
   <welcome-file-list>
      <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
   </welcome-file-list>
   <filter>
      <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
      <filter-class>
         org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher
      </filter-class>
   </filter>

   <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>
</web-app>

struts.xml is similar as below

<?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="helloworld" extends="struts-default">

      <action name="hello" 
            class="com.tutorialspoint.struts2.HelloWorldAction" 
            method="execute">
            <result name="success">/HelloWorld.jsp</result>
      </action>
   </package>
</struts>

Hi Aleksandr, the content of these files are similar to what I have posted. — Priyaranjan Singh, Sep 12 '14 at 10:42

Drop the FilterDispatcher that is deprecated, and set the new filter.
Correct your DTDs: in web.xml you are mixing 2.5 with 3.0. All 2.5 or all 3.0 (or all 2.4, according to your application server specs). In struts.xml, it should be 2.3 unless you are using a really old version (and you should not).
Make sure you have included all the required dependencies, each one only once, and all with the right versions.

can you fix your links? They broke. – Chris Aldrich Feb 24 '15 at 16:08
@ChrisAldrich Sure, done. Links are broken due to the migration of the Apache documentation of a couple of months ago. Before the docs were divided (and duplicated) per version, now they're unified. – Andrea Ligios Feb 24 '15 at 16:09

I was facing the same issue. I moved struts.xml file under resources folder so that it comes in the class path. I removed the init parameter for filter StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter which was pointing to the struts location. I am using below versions of libraries, along with maven.

<struts.version>2.3.16.3</struts.version>
<spring.version>4.1.2.RELEASE</spring.version>
<struts.spring.plugin>2.3.16.3</struts.spring.plugin>
