Migrating struts 1.x app to struts 2.5.26

Question

We are migrating one of our old apps to Struts 2.5.26 due to security issue found in struts 1.x. While testing I noticed that tiles is throwing an exception when the server is coming up.

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.apache.tiles.startup.AbstractTilesInitializer.createContainerFactory(Lorg/apache/tiles/TilesApplicationContext;)Lorg/apache/tiles/factory/AbstractTilesContainerFactory;

SEVERE: Error listenerStart

We have the following in web.xml

    <context-param>
        <param-name>tilesDefinitions</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>
    
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

and we have the following jars in WEB-INF/lib folder

-rw-r--r-- 1 ryk6mkj 1049089  21175 Apr 20 15:21 tiles-el-2.2.2.jar

-rw-r--r-- 1 ryk6mkj 1049089  32629 Apr 20 15:54 tiles-portlet-2.2.2.jar

I see that createContainerFactory()method is abstract in AbstractTilesInitializer.java class. Not sure why it is not using implementations like StrutsTilesInitializer.java or other implementations?

Any clues why this is happening?
