You should change your DTD to resolve from ibatis.apache.org, as per the examples in my previous email.
iBATIS uses a custom entity resolver that will detect either the public or system identifier for ibatis.com or apache.org to load the DTD from the JAR file. You don't have to do anything special.
But you should use the proper doctype anyway. I think most of the hits are from other kinds of tools, XML parsers that aren't paying attention to the entity resolver and old versions of iBATIS that were very strict about what was resolved from the JAR (using a very specifi public OR system identifier).
So you shouldn't have a problem. But you have had a year. ;-)
Cheers,

What do you mean with "The DTDs should be resolved from the JAR file if
you're using a modern version" ?
I'm using ibatis 2.1.7, and using
<!DOCTYPE sqlMapConfig SYSTEM
"http://www.ibatis.com/dtd/sql-map-config-2.dtd ">
Houston, am I going to have a problem?
