[Merrill Higginson]

If you're using Struts version 1.3 or above, the validator-rules.xml file is included in the struts-core-1.3.x.jar file, and should be referenced by the location '/org/apache/struts/validator/validator-rules.xml in your struts-config.xml file.

However, if you're using an earlier version of Struts, you should include the validator-rules file in your WEB-INF directory and reference it as /WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml.

The problem was with the dtd being referenced in validator-rules.xml and validator.xml. I modified it to refere to the local file rather than an interenet http:// url and it works. Thanks for the help
