Hi, 

I tried xml entity. It worked though I have few doubts.

This is part of the xml which have that reference

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE 
	web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application
2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";
	 [<!ENTITY xmlfrag SYSTEM
"file:///F:/struts/web/WEB-INF/servlet.xml" >]>
<web-app>
 <display-name>Struts POC</display-name>

 <!-- Action Servlet Configuration -->
 &xmlfrag;
 

I presume that "</web-app>" goes here?

The "&xmlfrag" contains the servlet specification and everything is
working fine but when I start the server it always throw this error.

resolve entity "null" for the webapp at: "null". Check your DTD
reference in the corresponding descriptor (web.xml/weblogic.xml).>
What has to be done to get rid of this error?

 

Even if this worked, you really don't want to be using absolute paths.  
A more typical scenario would be to put your fragment (say, in a file 
called "action-servlet.xml") in the WEB-INF directory next to web.xml, 
and change the entity declaration to something like:

 <!ENTITY xmlfrag SYSTEM "action-servlet.xml">

This will work *if* your container parses web.xml files in a manner 
where the XML parser knows the absolute URL of the web.xml file itself, 
so that it can resolve relative references.  Tomcat works this way, but 
I don't know if WebLogic does.

Thanks and Regards,
