解决方法：

很明显的错误：java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: FilterDispatcher
找不到FilterDispatcher这个类（FilterDispatcher分发器，是Struts2框架的核心Dispatcher，没有它，也就谈不起Struts2框架）
首先：看看有没有导入Struts2相应的jar包，是否齐全。最少要导入五个基本包:
commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
freemarker-2.3.8.jar
ognl-2.6.11.jar
struts2-core-2.0.12.jar
xwork-2.0.6.jar

如果该包含的jar包都引入了，再看，配置文件web.xml是否配置正确，
struts2使用的是Filter充当Control? 需要配置web.xml如下：注意类名和包名不要写错
<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>*.do</url-pattern>
  <!--? 这里的url-pattern视你的具体情况而定-->
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/struts/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
如果以上两步都没有问题，那估计就是环境问题了，在开发中，环境问题是麻烦的事，检查你用的部署服务器（Tomcat或weblogic等）、IDE的版本（eclipse或者myEclipse），以及Struts2的版本...
struts2项目中web.xml配置2.1与2.0的区别
具体的过滤器类变了，2.0配置是以上写法
2.1以后是这样配置
<filter>
  <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
  <filter-class>
  org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareFilter
 </filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
另外，也与你导入jar包的位置有关，建议最好放入工程WEB-INF下的lib目录里，有时不能识别。
