Struts2启动时，java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.Struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher

Struts2  版本2.3启动时，java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.Struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher

web.xml的配置文件如下：

看了很多论坛，上面说的是新版的struts2中StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter代替了原来的FilterDispatcher。但报找不到类，手动添加类到文件中也不好使。

错误中的信息org.apache.Struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher与导入struts2-core包中的类名确实不同，包中的类名org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher。

以上代码在Tomcat7中运行。

无意之中用Tomcat8运行了一下代码，不在报错了。我的问题也就解决了。
