I have to admit that I couldn't get the ENTITY declaration to work in my
struts-config.xml file, either. It looks like it's some kind of directory-lookup
problem with Tomcat, or something. (I'm also using VisualAge, I'm not sure if that's
related.) The annoying thing is that I ran my struts-config.xml through a local xml
validator, and it said it was fine (it successfully included the file), but Tomcat
still chokes on it. It tried various relative and absolute paths but couldn't get it
to work.
However, I *did* get the file-including stuff to work if I pointed to a local copy of
the struts-config_1_0.dtd and put the ENTITY declaration in the dtd file instead. (I
had to use a funky relative path to point to the local dtd.) But it would be a lot
nicer to be able to not have to edit the dtd all the time.
Has anyone gotten this to work with Tomcat?
