The remove(String,String) method was added to version 2.1 of commons-lang. It is not present in 2.0 and earlier.

Depending on which Servlet Container or Application Server you use (and which version of it), the server class path may contain an outdated version of commons-lang, which is used instead of your copy of commons-lang in the applications /lib folder. If that's your problem, you can configure your application to prefer the application class path, instead of the server class path.
