I recently have resolved very similar issue at [1]. That was because of wrong PUBLIC ID in his validator xmls.
But in general, please add <constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" /> to your struts.xml and configure log4j2 for your application [2] and then run your application and review it's output for any warnings. I guess you should look for something like "Unable to load config class X at Y probably due to a missing jar, which might be fine if you never plan to use the Z interceptor".
