Description

The following doesn't work, as struts tryes to parse web.xml, but fails to resolve the path to entity file (note that web container parses web.xml fine).

web.xml:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"
[<!ENTITY PartWebXml SYSTEM "part-web.xml">]>

<web-app>
&PartWebXml;
...

Error:
