RE: Resolving DTDs Locally: TILES: external entity not found --
L ocal Definitions
I suspect the key is to have the "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD
Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN" part match what Struts/Tiles registers with
Digester internally. With Digester, you can register a local version of
a DTD keyed to the "-//Apache..." part of the DOCTYPE tag. If your xml
document doesn't exactly match what was registered, Digester will try
the URI-looking part to go look up the DTD from the internet.
The DOCTYPE tag that Wendy posted should work -- it matches the
registrations in the XmlParser.java file from the Struts distribution.
Look out for extra spaces, slashes, version number differences, etc. --
anything that would cause a simple string comparison match to fail. If
that isn't it, it might be some kind of classpath issue, since the code
uses this.getClass().getResource() to access the local DTD.

Yeah, it is quite a easy to use / understand . Got it to read my xml and
put stuff into a bean in a short time.
Kola , later if you need to go from beans to xml then you can use
betwixt to do that.

More specifically, check out the API javadocs available via:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/
for more information about Digester. For some pretty intricate use cases,
you can take a look at how Tomcat uses Digester for parsing server.xml and
web.xml files, and Struts uses it for struts-config.xml files.

The "Digester" project team has created an easy-to-use XML parser. If you
ever find that you need to process an XML config file for a project,
Digester is definitely worth a look.

That was it, Max. I was using an outdated struts-tiles DTD
reference. Thanks again. Yours worked fine, Wendy. Thanks to you as
well. Micael
