Unable to start on disconnected network due to web.xml DTD reference

Issue Type:	New Feature

Priority:	Medium
Reporter:	Jody Garnett [Administrator]

I had the joy of working without internet recently, and was unable to start the application due to web.xml containing a DTD reference. The parsing of web.xml happens deep within the jetty application server (so I cannot easily supply my own entity resolver), the only way I was able to start up was by commenting out the DTD at the top of the web.xml file:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;!-- !DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"--&gt;
&lt;web-app&gt;
    &lt;display-name&gt;GeoServer&lt;/display-name&gt;  
    &lt;context-param&gt;
      &lt;param-name&gt;serviceStrategy&lt;/param-name&gt;
      ...
