If you look inside the controller servlet, you'll see that it registers a
local copy of the struts-config DTD, as well as the web.xml DTDs, with the
XML parser (the digester.register() calls).  This tells the parser to use
the local copy when a request for the specified public identifier is made.

Among other things, that means you can run Struts-based apps even when you
are not connected to the internet.  As long as your struts-config.xml file
has the correct public identifier, Struts does *not* go across the net to
perform the validation.
