Hi all, This might look trivial, but took enough time and effort searching for the answer
I am using struts tiles, and build the entire application without problems and works great. until I changed the reference to the dtd file in the tiles-definition.xml file from the original: <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configurations 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd";> to <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions SYSTEM "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configurations 1.1//EN" "../dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd"> where my WEB-INF directory contains WEB-INF/tiles/tiles-definition.xml WEB-INF/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd All I need is to reference to the local dtd rather than the internet one. When I run the application I get the exception (as you can tell. I am using Oracle JDeveloper 10g) : javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Can't get definitions factory from context. at org.apache.struts.taglib.tiles.InsertTag.processDefinitionName(InsertTag.java:583) at org.apache.struts.taglib.tiles.InsertTag.createTagHandler(InsertTag.java:487) at org.apache.struts.taglib.tiles.InsertTag.doStartTag(InsertTag.java:451) at _res._resWelcome._jspService(resWelcome.jsp:8) [/res/resWelcome.jsp] at oracle.jsp.runtime.HttpJsp.service(HttpJsp.java:139) at oracle.jsp.runtimev2.JspPageTable.service(JspPageTable.java:349) at oracle.jsp.runtimev2.JspServlet.internalService(JspServlet.java:509) at oracle.jsp.runtimev2.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:413) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0)].server.http.ResourceFilterChain.doFilter(ResourceFilterChain.java:65) at oracle.security.jazn.oc4j.JAZNFilter.doFilter(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0)].server.http.ServletRequestDispatcher.invoke(ServletRequestDispatcher.java:604) at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0)].server.http.ServletRequestDispatcher.forwardInternal(ServletRequestDispatcher.java:317) at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0)].server.http.HttpRequestHandler.processRequest(HttpRequestHandler.java:790) at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0)].server.http.HttpRequestHandler.run(HttpRequestHandler.java:270) at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0)].server.http.HttpRequestHandler.run(HttpRequestHandler.java:112) at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0)].util.ReleasableResourcePooledExecutor$MyWorker.run(ReleasableResourcePooledExecutor.java:192) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)
