Doh, thanks! :) I fixed it last night after I got home from work (had to
look up valid URI's on W3C's page). For those of you who are having this
problem still and do not want to upgrade to a nightly build (like me) then
this is what you must do. (At least in a WebSphere solution that is not
net-aware).
Change the DOCTYPE identifier to SYSTEM. Remove the address used by the
PUBLIC DTD (starts with "-//etc...". Then change the URI to point to the DTD
you expanded when trying to deploy the application (see WebSphere 3.5.3
directions if you don't know what I mean).
So, struts-config.xml becomes (on an NT box for example):
<!DOCTYPE struts-config SYSTEM
"file:/e:/WebSphere/AppServer/hosts/default_hosts/struts-example/servlets/or
g/apache/struts/resources/struts-config_1_0.dtd">
Unix example:
<!DOCTYPE struts-config SYSTEM
"file:/prod/sys/WebSphere/AppServer/hosts/default_hosts/struts-example/servl
ets/org/apache/struts/resources/struts-config_1_0.dtd">
That's a bit long so you can put it somewhere else to shorten it up if you
want. The same applies with web.xml and the web-app_2_2.dtd. :)
