A customer (case 4050) claims that behind a firewall, his webservice does not deploy properly. The reason is that the SAX parser is not able to obtain the web.xml dtd from the Sun site. The JBossEntityResolver should have kicked in.

The error goes away when the DOCTYPE defining the dtd in web.xml is removed. Need to test as to why the Entity resolution is not happening locally.
