Niklas, I think there is nothing to do with any kind of validation. When you refer a doctype in your struts-config.xml file, it will verify it from DTD which is part of struts.jar, either you can put jar file in such a place that classloader can load it (web-inf/lib) or you can place DTD file in web-inf folder of WAR. If DTD is not available then only it will try to connect to internet. First verify that struts.jar which is loaded by classloader is having this 1.3 DTD or not.
Hope it helps.. Thanks & Regards Sunil [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/11/2006 03:31 PM Please respond to Struts Users Mailing List <user@struts.apache.org> To user@struts.apache.org cc Subject Problems fetching struts-config DTD Hi! I have a Struts webapp with a struts-config.xml that starts with the usual <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.3//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd";> So when the web application is started Struts goes out to struts.apache.org to try to fetch the DTD file. This is becoming a problem since the Internet can't be reached from all environments that the web application is going to run in. What is the preferred way to handle this? Can you turn of validation so Struts never tries to fetch the DTD file? I have tried to add an init-param validating=false to web.xml (also tried validate=true) but that didn't seem to help. Can you put the DTD file locally womewhere inside the webapp and reference it in a way so that it works regardless of the environment? Thanks for any help! /Niklas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
