Resolution:

The Struts 2 framework has dependencies on the following distributables:

- commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar
- commons-io-1.3.2.jar
- commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
- commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
- freemarker-2.3.15,jar
- log4j-1.2.14.jar
- ognl-2.7.3.jar
- xwork-core-2.1.6.jar

Adding these jars to the WEB-INF/lib folder of the web application resolves this error. All these jars as as well as the Struts distribution may be downloaded from this link
