That's what Wendy said too. Makes sense (now) :)

I need to go do a little reading on DOCTYPE because it doesn't seem to
have *quite* the meaning I thought it had. Just different enough for
something like this to bite me basically :)

No problem. Wendy was helpful in nudging me in the right direction.

Ironically, I do this in another application where I'm parsing an app
config file manually (written before I discovered Digester), and it looks
virtualy identical to what you have here :) Although, I'm not sure in my
head I knew there was a difference between getResource called on Class vs.
called on ServletContext, but it seems obvious now there would be :) Good
info in case.
