RE: WL5.1(sp8) Web Application 2.2 dtd

[Bacco, F. ing. DTO/SLOD/SSI/RSD]

Dinesh,

We encountered probably a similar problem with iPlanet webserver 6.0 (behind
a firewall) our solution was as follows:

The original:
<!--DOCTYPE web-app
  PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd"-->

Our change, we directed the dtd reference to our struts.jar file of our
application (#MyApp#):
<!DOCTYPE web-app
  PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
 
"jar:file:///data/webserv/data/servlets/#MyApp#/WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar!/org/
apache/struts/resources/web-app_2_2.dtd">

And it workes fine for us, would be nice if this is going to be of some help
for you.

Ciao, 
Frank Bacco

I'm getting this error while running my struts application (deployed as
a WAR) in Weblogic 5.1(sp 8).

[ServletEntityResolver] : Could not resolve entity '-//Sun Microsystems,
Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN'.  Check your dtd reference.
Mon Sep 10 20:22:35 GMT+05:30 2001:<E> <HTTP> Error reading Web
application 'c:/jakarta/webapps/joinStruts.war'

I'm not able to run my application at all after this.

Basically the XML parser (Xerces) with Weblogic doesn't like the
definition in the web.xml file. I tried changing it to '-//Sun
Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 1.2//EN'. 
This works well till the time the ActionServlet kicks up. The Xerces
parser then returns a similar error, for the 1.2//EN dtd.

Is there any fix for this, is it possible for Xerces to find the 1.2//EN
dtd locally and not throw the exception ? I have xerces.jar in
WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH.

Thanks,
Dinesh
