会出现这种错误的原因是：在struts2版本2.3以前，配置过滤器，包名是：org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter

<!-- 配置struts2的过滤器 -->
  <filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>

如果您使用的是struts2版本2.5，
则需要从org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter更改为org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter。

<!-- 配置struts2的过滤器 -->
  <filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>
