A similar bug was fixed in Log4J. While it's arguable whether it's a struts 
bug, tomcat bug, or a windows bug, I thought I'd post the details and reopen 
the bug just to see if anyone thinks it should be addressed in struts.

The bug (from what I understand) is that when dtd's are loaded from the jar 
(while running on windows), the jar is locked b/c the input stream for the dtd 
has not be properly closed. In log4j, this is fixed by using a custom 
EntityResolver to load the dtd. (the resolver makes a copy of the dtd input 
stream in memory and return the copied stream after closing the real input 
stream)

references to this can be found in the log4j code, but this url from the 
barracuda project has a pretty good summary:
http://barracuda.enhydra.org/software/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/Projects/EnhydraOrg/toolsT
ech/Barracuda/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.7a.jar?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-
markup

the files of interest in log4j are:
org/apache/log4j/xml/Log4jEntityResolver.java
org/apache/log4j/xml/DOMConfigurator.java

i think this would be straightforward enough for struts to fix, but i 
understand that this would a workaround by struts to resolves some deeper bug 
(windows?)
