NoClassDefFoundError even after adding commons-lang3 library in Struts 2.3.24

Question

I am working on a Struts 2 project.
I have used StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter .
I am using Eclipse IDE and Weblogic server 9.2.
I have added the following libraries to the lib folder of the project :

commons-collections-3.1.jar
commons-fileupload-1.3.1.jar
commons-io-2.2.jar
commons-lang-2.4.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
freemarker-2.3.22.jar
javassist-3.11.0.GA.jar
ognl-3.0.6.jar
struts2-core-2.3.24.jar
xwork-core-2.3.24.jar
commons-lang3-3.2.jar

I have used ant build tool to build ear.
There are no errors during compilation time but when I deploy the ear, I get the following error

SEVERE: Could not load user
defined filter in web.xml: org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPreparecuteFilter.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils
  at com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.providers.XmlConfigurationProvider.reg
XmlConfigurationProvider.java:213)

Even after adding commons-lang3 jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder of the project, why am I getting exception?
Do I need to add any jar to weblogic server?

Here I have included the commons-lang3-3.2.jar in the lib folder of the project so it is not a duplicate of the other question posted on stack overflow

You probably need to add commons-lang also, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25485375/noclassdeffounderror-using-struts-2 — JFPicard, Jul 26 '15 at 16:06
Its not a duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25485375/noclassdeffounderror-using-struts-2 as in my case I have included commons-lang3 jar in my project. — Karthik, Jul 28 '15 at 05:12
Please anyone let me know whether Struts 2.3 jars are supported on Weblogic server 9.2 — Karthik, Jul 28 '15 at 07:29
I unzipped the ear file and found the jar - commons-lang3-3.2 in the lib folder of WEB-INF — Karthik, Jul 28 '15 at 09:15
I finally found that commons-lang3-3.2 jar is not supported in java 1.5. Instead commons-lang3-3.0 jar can be used with java 1.5. — Karthik, Jul 28 '15 at 10:03
