Hi Craig, hi all, Thanks for the answers concerning the "cannot load application resources" message we got last week. Mistake was definitely on our sid :-((, we hat a duplicate struts.jar in the parent directory. Now we are some steps further, but unfortunately got another problem now. In the new config file struts-config it seems the DTD cannot be resolved. Our log file (Jrun 3.0) says the following: resolveEntity('-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN', 'http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd') Not registered, use system identifier Parse Fatal Error at line 5 column -1: External entity not found: "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd". org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: External entity not found: "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd". at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.fatal(Parser.java:2817) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.externalParameterEntity(Parser.java:2506) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.maybeDoctypeDecl(Parser.java:1137) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.parseInternal(Parser.java:481) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.parse(Parser.java:284) at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:155) at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:77) ... and ... ... 11/21 09:49:27 info (JRun) Loading file 11/21 09:49:27 info (JRun) action: init 11/21 09:49:28 info (JRun) action: Loading application resources from resource ApplicationResources 11/21 09:49:28 info (JRun) action: Initializing configuration from resource path /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml 11/21 09:49:29 error (JRun) Could not pre-load servlet: action [javax.servlet.ServletException: Parsing error processing resource path /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml] [1]org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: External entity not found: "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd". at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.fatal(Parser.java:2817) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.externalParameterEntity(Parser.java:2506) ... Calling the DTD itself originally in the Browser (IE 5 or 5.5) we get the following message: Cannot have a DTD declaration outside of a DTD. Line 26, Position 12 <!ENTITY % BeanName "CDATA"> -----------^ Did someone have this problem already ? Could this be a problem in the DTD or maybe do we have again internal mistakes ... ? Thanks again for everything that helps. Stefan
