I've been emailed privately a couple of time about the commons-validator not being able to resolve the validator dtd's internally and therefore trying to resolve it over the internet (and being blocked by firewall restrictions)...
So I thought I should put it on the list... I belive the information I've given is correct, but perhaps some of the experts could confirm... Details are given in the email below Thanks Gary -----Original Message----- From: Frost, Gary [IT] Sent: Friday, 6 June 2003 10:14 AM To: 'Fr�d�ric Trifiro'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Validator in Struts 1.1 Hi Frederic, The Proxy Host and Proxy port are needed if you are behind a firewall and have a proxy server for internet access, this way Catalina can obtain the DTD via the internet. However this is not the ideal solution as it creates a dependence on the jakarta site being available for it to obtain the DTD to validate against... It basically was a bug in the Validator jar, however recent builds (even as long as a month ago I think) have fixed this. If you get a more recent version of validator you won't need to set the proxy information, it will resolve the DTD to be stored in the Jar itself.

Defining a proxy within the Tomcat JVM using the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable solved my problem...
