Pier,

I'm not quite sure I understand your query.  Leigh's first query was
asking why Tomcat is trying to connect to Sun.  As you say, its because
the web.xml DOCTYPE uses a PUBLIC reference (as opposed to a SYSTEM
ref).  So Tomcat (or more specifically the XML parser) is connecting to
Sun to get the DTD?

I suppose what you're asking is more focussed on the PUBLIC ID... all that
is (as I understand it) is a key for a cache of DTDs.  So the first time
the parser needs the DTD it connects to the system location of the dtd and
downloads it...

am I dribbling on for no good reason (o:  From what you said you seemed to
have a pretty good grasp on it... anyway, 

cheesr
