Hi Jeff:
It appears you have a mismatch of identifier (1.1) with DTD (1.0) in your !DOCTYPE tag. Change your identifier to 1.0 to be consistent with the DTD URL and then your app should work whether the struts site is up or not. (Assuming your app is a Struts 1.0 app) The ActionServlet will use the DTD in the struts.jar if it recognizes the identifier. That's what we've been doing with Struts 1.1 successfully on a server with no web access. Good luck, Steve -----Original Message----- From: Lowe, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 7:49 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: DTD I'm new to this list, so forgive me if this question has been posted recently. Yesterday my Struts application stopped working. I finally traced the problem to the following line in struts-config.xml: <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd";> Apparantly the Apache domain was unavailable for awhile on the web and this caused the parser to hang. (I was surprised not to see any mention of this anywhere. I would have thought that Struts apps all around the world would have stopped working.) To fix the problem I placed a copy of struts-config_1_0.dtd in the same directory as struts-config.xml and changed the reference to: <!DOCTYPE struts-config SYSTEM "struts-config_1_0.dtd"> When I start the application, I get a parser error stating that it can't find the resource in the directory that the VM (i.e. Weblogic) was started from. According to the XML spec, the SYSTEM specifier should tell the parser to look for the resource in a path relative to struts-config.xml, in this case - the same directory. Anyone have any insight into this?
