Re: jaxp.jar and parser.jar, I have been all over the map trying to get my Visual Age
for Java environment working with Struts again. But I started clean with fresh
installations of Tomcat 3.2.1 and Struts build of Feb. 20, no edits and running
totally independent of VAJ. I drop the struts-example into webapps and start up, not
logged onto the Internet.
I can see in the debug trace that the struts_config_1_0.dtd resolving to the local
copy as you explained. But when it comes time for web_app_2_2.dtd, the SAXParser
throws a fatal error. After that, I can access the index.jsp of the example, but login
with "user" and "pass" yields an HTTP 404. If I enter registration info and attempt to
submit it, again HTTP 404.
When I restart after loggin on to the Internet, the example application works as
expected. Do you think something is broken?
