This happened to me too... Defining a proxy within the Tomcat JVM using the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable solved my problem...

I was using 1.1Beta2, and though maybe that it was a bug that has been corrected, so I grabbed the latest nightly build (20021201), I copied all the jar files into my WEB_INF/lib directory, and they certainly seem to be loading ok, I checked and confirmed that the validator_1_0.dtd is in the commons-validator.jar (it does). I looked in the Catalina.out from Tomcat 4, and saw quite a few ContextConfig[/webatlas]: Scanning library JAR files ContextConfig[/webatlas]: tldConfigJar(/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar): Processing entry 'META-INF/sql-rt.tld' XmlMapper: Set locator : org.apache.xerces.readers.DefaultEntityHandler@4cc588 Resolve: -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd Using alternate DTD /javax/servlet/jsp/resources/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd Notation: WEB-JSPTAGLIB.1_2 -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN null ContextConfig[/webatlas]: tldConfigJar(/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar): Processing entry 'META-INF/c.tld' And the same for struts.jar (i.e. ContextConfig[/webatlas]: tldConfigJar(/WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar): Processing entry 'META-INF/tlds/struts-nested.tld' XmlMapper: Set locator : org.apache.xerces.readers.DefaultEntityHandler@3adc56 Resolve: -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd Using alternate DTD /javax/servlet/jsp/resources/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd) But nothing for validator.jar in that section (even though near the top of the output was a line WebappLoader[/webatlas]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/commons-validator.jar to /home/gf06866/projects/webATLAS/dist/war/WEB-INF/lib/commons-validator.j ar So it seems that it is picking up the jar ok...!! I confirmed that my struts.xml was loading the validator in the plugin correctly, it reads <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn"> <set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/config/validator-rules.xml, /WEB-INF/config/logon/validator.xml"/> </plug-in> And the two validator files are reference the correct DOC_TYPE, they (both) read <!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_0.dtd"> The net result is that obviously the validator isn't configuring properly, and so when I go to my login page (which I have set up a very simple 'required' test for the user name, I get the error message [Exception in:/WEB-INF/jsps/tiles/logon/logon.jsp] null java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.JavascriptValidatorTag.doStartTag(Javascri ptVa lidatorTag.java:309) at org.apache.jsp.logon$jsp._jspService(logon$jsp.java:573) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:107) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServle t.ja va:201) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:381) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:473) <snip> Any clues on what's going on?
