Are you behind a proxy? If so, you'll need to make sure that the JVM knows about it before ActionServlet starts trying to read the DTD. One way of doing this would be to subclass ActionServlet and override the init method to something like this:
public class ProxyActionServlet extends ActionServlet { public void init(ServletConfig config) { System.setProperty ("http.proxyHost",proxyserver); System.setProperty ("http.proxyPort",proxyport); System.setProperty ("https.proxyHost",secureproxy); System.setProperty ("https.proxyPort",secureproxyport); System.setProperty ("http.proxyUserName",username); System.setProperty ("http.proxyPassword",password); super.init(config); } } (I've typed this from memory so it may not work if you just cut and paste). Then you'll need to make sure your web.xml file points to your new class.
