关于HTTP Status 404 - Servlet action is not available的问题

      自己在虚拟机里开发一个小系统，做练手用，平时都运行好好的，最近一两个星期都没动了，今天兴致一来，想写点东西。启动tomcat，能访问到登陆页面，但是输入正确的用户名和密码，点击登陆之后，浏览器上报出异常：HTTP Status 404 - Servlet action is not available 。

而tomcat日志则是这样的异常信息：

- Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.util.LocalStrings', returnNull=true

- Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.action.ActionResources', returnNull=true

- Parsing error processing resource path

java.net.UnknownHostException: struts.apache.org

      经过调试，问题定位在struts-config.xml配置文件里的dtd校验：<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.3//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd">这里有问题。

      开发所在的虚拟机了确实是不能联网，怀疑是不是不能下载dtd文件的原因，于是就手动下载后，放到struts-config.xml同一目录下，重启tomcat后，再登陆，问题依然，无计可施，索性把：<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.3//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd">这一行给删了，重启登陆，这次却意外的成功了。

      这到底是什么原因呢，引入的包绝对没动过，代码也不会有问题，因为之前一直都能运行，删除了那句校验后也能正常运行，这句校验语句到底是怎么回事？没有头绪。
