Re: struts-config_1_1.dtd error?
Why does Opera ever see the DTD? ... odd ... I just open my DTDs up in Netbeans personally. I can't imagine the DTD being seen during app execution - I'm guessing you are opening it for reference. One observation I would make: Shouldn't we be using an encoding of UTF-8? I thought that was the way to go nowadays ... David Graham wrote: The struts-config_1_1.dtd file starts with this line: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? which I think is incorrect. DTDs aren't xml documents so they shouldn't start with that processing instruction. I'm not an XML expert but Sun's DTDs don't have this line in them and it causes Opera to complain about xml parsing errors when trying to view it.

Re: struts-config_1_1.dtd error?
Of course the app never shows the dtd :-). I went to the dtd url referenced by struts-config.xml and got xml parsing errors because of that first processing instruction. Not that I care if Opera chokes on it, but it did alert me to the fact that it probably shouldn't be in there.

Re: struts-config_1_1.dtd error?
I'm about as stupid as it gets wrt XML/DTDs. I can use digester to instantiate/configure stuff (piece of cake!) but I haven't cured my definite lack of knowledge on XML yet ... :-/ I really should too - I see a lot of utility in it. Sorry for asking a stupid question - I just couldn't see how your discovery arose :-) David Graham wrote: Of course the app never shows the dtd :-).

DTDs are not XML documents, and are processed quite differently. It is because of this and other reasons that schemas were proposed and made a recommendation by the W3C. Schemas serve a similar purpose to DTDs, but are themselves XML documents. This explains the difference between the two: http://www.ucc.ie/xml/#schemas In short, the PI should be removed from the DTD, and Opera's parser was correct to complain about it. -= James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: struts-config_1_1.dtd error?
Thanks for the link. I've never used xml schema and most xml I've seen is validated against a dtd but it's nice that it's there. Should I post this to bugzilla or does one of the committers want to quickly remove that line from the dtd?

RE: struts-config_1_1.dtd error?
You will need to get used to schemas tho'. If you have a look at the draft 2.4 servlet spec, they now use a schema instead of a dtd for web.xml. It's a pity that digester doesn't yet work with registering schema's (only DTD's) - although you can set a schema.
