versions are as follows

spring boot : 2.7.11 struts 2-core : 2.5.30 tomcat-embed-jasper: 9.0.64

Issue Description:

After starting this application from intellij what i am seeing below error is coming and tomcat is not able to start

    caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspWriter

[20240324 07:38:40.238 EDT (main) org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext#filterStart SEVERE] Exception starting filter [struts2]
Unable to load configuration. - bean - jar:file:/home/srivastu/.m2/repository/org/apache/struts/struts2-core/2.5.30/struts2-core-2.5.30.jar!/struts-default.xml:130:150
    at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher.init(Dispatcher.java:509)

This is coming when struts filter is being initialized

at com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.ConfigurationManager.getConfiguration(ConfigurationManager.java:69)
at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher.getContainer(Dispatcher.java:970)
at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher.init_PreloadConfiguration(Dispatcher.java:463)

at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.InitOperations.initDispatcher(InitOperations.java:73)
at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.init(StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.java:61)

The filter is defined in web.xml as below:

<!-- Struts 2 configuration -->
<filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>config</param-name>
      <param-value>struts-default.xml,struts-plugin.xml,${fuma.module}-struts.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>

due to this error the tomcat server is not coming up and failing everytime.

Please suggest what is missing here.
