Solution:

Problem with accessing the reference in DTD, it’s due to Internet or System configuration issues.

Step 1: Download struts-config_1_3.dtd from http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd

Step 2: Find and Replace in (strut-config.xml is located in WEB-INF folder) <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC          “-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration1.3//EN”          “http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd“;>

with

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC          “-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration1.3//EN”          “struts-config_1_3.dtd”>

Step 3: copy downloaded struts-config_1_3.dtd file in to WEB-INF folder and deploy.

Good Luck…..
