Does the servlet container actually access the location specified for the DTD in the DOCTYPE statement of the web.xml?
Couple of reasons for this question: * JRun 3.1 is having heartache with my app that I just ported to Struts 1.1. It throws a ServletException with the message External entity not found: "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd". * This seems un-necessary and circuitous. One would think the container would maintain a copy of the DTD The odd thing is that it works for the Struts 1.0 web.xml. Sri
