James, We had the same problem beginning November 8th, and using the dtd element (as suggested by Andy below) was also the approach we took. I imagine java.sun.com must have changed something on their website. I could view the DTD from java.sun.com in a web browser, but could no longer access it from a Java program (using URL and URLConnection, and ultimately any XML parser or Ant). I emailed java.sun.com's web staff, but they directed me elsewhere.
Well, the local DTD solution works, and presumably it's more reliable and faster than getting it over the net anyway. An alternative solution: sticking weblogic.jar in Ant's own classpath. weblogic.jar contains the DTDs, too. I wanted to keep weblogic.jar out of Ant's classpath, though.
