This problem occurs when the examples are run locally, without a connection to the outside world. I agree that the struts-config is an issue, but the problem you're encountering is before that in the web.xml, which has a similar DOCTYPE...
<!DOCTYPE web-app SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd"> Just for information the equivalent of struts-examples.war in Struts 1.1 is struts-exercise-taglib.war and the equivalent of struts-mailreader.war in Struts 1.1 is struts-example.war. Seems that when struts-exercise-taglib.war was refactored to struts-examples.war then DOCTYPE was changed for the web.xml and struts-config.xml Thanks for pointing this out.
