Struts does *exactly* the same thing when it parses your struts-config.xmlfiles, so it would be helpful for you to see how that's done (using Commons Digester). Check out the initConfigDigester() method of org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet, and notice how it uses the register() method of the Digester instance to register local copies of the Struts DTDs. Internally, what's going on is a string like "/org/apache/struts/resources/struts_config_1_2.dtd" (which points at a resource file included in struts.jar) is being turned into a URL by calling ServletContext.getResource() -- exactly what you need to gain access to anything stored under WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib.
