The file cannot be validated as the host "struts.apache.org" is currently unreachable

In struts-config.xml under declaration of Doc type

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
      "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.3//EN"
      "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd">

at url "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd" in the xml getting below message as "The file cannot be validated as the host "struts.apache.org" is currently unreachable."

Due to this iam unable to deploy the application.

anyidea how to resolve the above issue.

Solution

  • The link in your question works fine for me, but the link below is what I'm using currently, try it and see?

    http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd

    Edit: reference dtd locally. I think this should do the trick.

    1. copy struts-config_1_3.dtd and then place into /WEB-INF/dtd folder

    2. modify the doctype in struts-config.xml to this

      <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.3//EN" "../dtd/struts-config_1_3.dtd">
