Yes, the default is a validating parser. My guess: the URI of the DTD you
specified in your struts-config.xml doesn't match the URI of the DTD
included in struts.jar (the ActionServlet registers its own copies upon
startup and shouldn't need to access them via internet).

You can turn off validation by setting validatin=false in the init-param
section for your ActionServlet in web.xml.
HTH,
Yann
