Description

When starting an s2 application in tomcat, the system is trying to connet to http://struts.apache.org/ (probably for validation of the xml DTD's).
This makes it impossible to use the server in an disconnected environment (for development or behind a firewall).

Is there a way to workaround this problem - e.g. to disable the xml validation?

my configuration:

• Tomcat 6.0.16 (also tested with jetty 6 via the maven jetty plugin - 6.1.10)
• struts 2.0.11.2 (also tested with 2.1.2, 2.0.9)
• spring 2.5.5
• struts2-spring-plugin 2.0.11.2
