it all worked nice, but this morning stopped working.
I cleaned, refreshed, and remove the project from tomcat, but nothing seem to work. EDIT: i found this to :
Unable to load config class org.apache.struts2.interceptor.validation.AnnotationValidationInterceptor at interceptor - jar:file:/home/suad/Desktop/MyProject/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp1/wtpwebapps/My/WEB-INF/lib/struts2-core-2.3.1.jar!/struts-default.xml:148:127 probably due to a missing jar, which might be fine if you never plan to use the validation interceptor
Actual exception

You are using old DTD - from OpenSymphony which was shut down some time ago, visit the main page http://opensymphony.com/
All the DTDs were moved under Apache Struts, you should change your DOCTYPE to:
