I finally got back to working this issue. Recall, I was having the trouble running a struts application using Tomcat 3.2 & JBuilder 4 in debug mode while disconnected from the internet. I resolved this issue by extracting the DTDs from the struts.jar to the WEB-INF\classes\org\apache\struts\resources directory. These DTD's were in the struts.jar in my WEB-INF\lib directory, but they weren't found at runtime. Thanks. Wayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Craig R.

If so, the system identifier (the URL) is totally ignored. By the way, servlet containers do this for the web.xml DTD as well, which is why (for example) you can run Tomcat disconnected from the Internet without modifying any of your web.xml files.
