I was facing the same problem depending on the way I was buiding my war
file.
-If I made a copy of all the files and folder required for the my war file
in a specific folder (a copy of my Css/*, Jpg/*, *.jsp, and Web-inf/*) and
then made :
war cvf demo.war .
then running the demo.war in Tomcat, Tomcat was able to resolveEntity(...)
and everything was fine.
-But if I made my war file this way:
war cvf demo.war *.jsp Web-inf Css Jpg
then I faced the DTD-Reference problem.
the 2 war files are the same size and they have the same structure once
uncompressed.
Anyone faced this strange behavior ?
What should I do to correct the situation, any idea?
(yes i could put hte Dtd in the demo.war ... but...i does not explain the
strange behavior... )
Thanks
Maxime

I was following this thread, and I tried to use a relative directory of the
type:
file://./struts-config_1_0.dtd"
When I attempted to start tomcat I got the following message:
resolveEntity('-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration
1.0//EN', 'file://.') Resolving to alternate DTD
'jar:file:/C:/dev/jbproject/TMate/tmate/WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar!/org/apache/s
truts/resources/struts-config_1_0.dtd'
and then my app worked correctly. Simarly, you could change the http path
to point to a null object. ex:
"http://this.domain.does.not.exist.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd";;
It seems that if the file can't be found where specified, struts resorts to
a struts-config_1_0.dtd file embedded within struts jar. This may only work
in struts_1.0.

Of course you can use relative directory, and put the DTD file into your
war.

Hi,
I think that problem has been fixed since Struts 1.0, but I'm not sure.
Do you have a new release from Struts?
The solution with "file://c:/..." is IMHO a problem if you want to
deploy your Application (e.g. in a war-File).
Who guarantees you, Tomcat or JRun or ... will be installed on Drive C?
Currently I have a similar problem: I have a XML-File (retrieved by
SOAP) and do parse it with Digester.
That is no problem. If I want to validate that Document, I do it by
writing the DTD-Reference into the XML-File
( <!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "xy.dtd"> ) and by calling
digester.validate(true).
The Drawback is, that I must put that DTD in the tomcat/bin Directory,
otherwise it would **not** be found.
Then I tried to use the digester.register method. But it seems, I does
not work, as I want.
What I want is: To put the DTD file in some custom directory and use it
to validate the XML-File (that I get wrapped in in a SOAP Document).
Who knows, how to do that?
Cheers
Hartmut
