原因：

struts2导入的jar包中加入了struts-spring-plugin这个插件的jar


		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
			<artifactId>struts2-spring-plugin</artifactId>
			<version>2.2.1</version>
		</dependency>

但是工程web.xml中没有配置加载spring ApplicationContext相关的listener

<listener>
<listener-class>
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener  
</listener-class>
</listener>


<listener>
	<listener-class>
		org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
	</listener-class>
</listener>

原理：

查看struts2插件struts2-spring-plugin中的strtus-plugin.xml

<struts>
<beantype="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ObjectFactory"name="spring"class="org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory"/>
<!--  Make the Spring object factory the automatic default -->
<constantname="struts.objectFactory"value="spring"/>
<constantname="struts.class.reloading.watchList"value=""/>
<constantname="struts.class.reloading.acceptClasses"value=""/>
<constantname="struts.class.reloading.reloadConfig"value="false"/>
<packagename="spring-default">
<interceptors>
<interceptorname="autowiring"class="com.opensymphony.xwork2.spring.interceptor.ActionAutowiringInterceptor"/>
<interceptorname="sessionAutowiring"class="org.apache.struts2.spring.interceptor.SessionContextAutowiringInterceptor"/>
</interceptors>
</package>
</struts>


<struts>
    <bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ObjectFactory" name="spring" class="org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory" />
    
    <!--  Make the Spring object factory the automatic default -->
    <constant name="struts.objectFactory" value="spring" />


    <constant name="struts.class.reloading.watchList" value="" />
    <constant name="struts.class.reloading.acceptClasses" value="" />
    <constant name="struts.class.reloading.reloadConfig" value="false" />

    <package name="spring-default">
        <interceptors>
            <interceptor name="autowiring" class="com.opensymphony.xwork2.spring.interceptor.ActionAutowiringInterceptor"/>
            <interceptor name="sessionAutowiring" class="org.apache.struts2.spring.interceptor.SessionContextAutowiringInterceptor"/>
        </interceptors>
    </package>    
</struts>

注意下面部分，表明该插件引入工程后，会自动设置Struts的ObjectFactory为StrutsSpringObjectFactory，从而让Spring的IOC容器来托管Struts的Action。所以导致了启动的问题。


<beantype="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ObjectFactory"name="spring"class="org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory"/>
<!--  Make the Spring object factory the automatic default -->
<constantname="struts.objectFactory"value="spring"/>


<bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ObjectFactory" name="spring" class="org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory" />
    <!--  Make the Spring object factory the automatic default -->
    <constant name="struts.objectFactory" value="spring" />


记录一下错误，方便查看。
