unable to declare plugin inside struts-config.xml

[jatinkumar patel]

i am not able to declare plugin inside struts-config.xml

this is my current struts-config.xml

  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd">

<struts-config>
	<!--

	-->
	<form-beans type="org.apache.struts.action.ActionFormBean">

	</form-beans>

	<!--

	-->
	<global-forwards type="org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward">
		<forward name="home" path="/home.jsp" />
	</global-forwards>

	<!--
		========== Action Mapping Definitions ==============================
	-->
	<action-mappings type="org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping">

		</action>

			name="blankForm" scope="request" input="/home.jsp">
			<forward name="newUser" path="http://www.cnn.com" />
		</action>

	</action-mappings>

</struts-config>
  

But when i try to insert

  
 <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
        <set-property property="pathname" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml"/>
        <set-property property="pathname" value="/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
      </plug-in>  

The struts-config.xml shows me error

ERROR : The Content of elemnt type "struts-config" must match "(data sources?, form beans?, global forwards?, action-mappings?)"

XML is not valid, please make sure you inserted the plug-in tag inside the <struts-config..> tag, i.e exactly inside the root tag.

Sorry.. You got the wrong dtd, change it as:

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd">

otherwise, there is NO support for plug-ins in Struts 1.x

Sagar,

Thnks for the quick reply.
But unfortunately i am getting the same error.

Few Suggestions:
1. Clean and rebuild the project.
2. Try upgrading Struts to version 1.3.x, download the "struts-blank-1.3.x.war" file, unzip it and use it as base for all the struts project.

Problem is with your dtd declaration, always check validness of xml before building the solution.
