When moving to the latest struts.jar release, there is a Digester parsing exception that is introduced when the base URI is not defined.  This was not a problem before the latest release, I'm hoping to continue to use relative file paths due to varied development environments and excessive entity includes.  Suggestions?

was:

<!DOCTYPE web-app SYSTEM "conf/common/web-app_2_3.dtd" ...>

now requires 

<!DOCTYPE web-app SYSTEM "file://...full_path.../conf/common/web-app_2_3.dtd" ...>

or 

<!DOCTYPE web-app SYSTEM "http://web-app_2_3.dtd"; ...>

Thanks for your time,

You should be using the standard DOCTYPE for the deployment descriptor DTD:

 <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web 
Application 2.3//EN"
   "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>

and the corresponding standard DOCTYPE for struts-config.xml files:

 <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD 
Struts Configuration 1.2//EN"
   "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd";>

The parsing code in Struts (and Tomcat, if you're using that) recognizes 
the public identifiers and loads its own internal copies of the DTDs, so 
it works without accessing the Internet.  And, I've got cases where 
relative references in web.xml and struts-config.xml files work fine 
when doing this.
