Description

We upgrade the Struts version to 2.5.22 recently.

The new version working well in our testing enviroment. But after moved to production. After some time it's been used. The system throw out exception for 'Could not find required filter class - org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.class'. 

I used the minmal struts 2.5.22 jars download from Struts website, because of our security scan application notify that javassist-3.20.0-GA.jar is out of date, so i replace it to 3.26.0-GA. Could this issue related to this change? Thanks a lot.
