using a local dtd for web.xml's ?

[Dirk Winter]

Hi,

we use Tomcat 5.0.16  under linux and all of our web.xml's are starting 
with a
standard "public" dtd tag, i.e.

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

or

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

Everything worked fine until duesday: java.sun.com was unreachable and the
server startup time was dramatically increased.
We know that a local copy of the dtd schema is included in the 
servlet-api.jar,
but how can we force tomcat reading the local copy of the dtd without 
changing
our web.xml's ?

Best regards,

Dirk Winter
