XEmacs and the web.xml DTD

["Crandall, William" <william.crandall@concept.com>]

Greetings xml-dev list readers,

This is my first posting to this list, and if I'm in the wrong place, 
please redirect me. 

I'm using XEmacs to edit a web.xml deployment descriptor, 
loading (by hand) xml-mode (which becomes sgml-mode).

My problem: Parsing the doctype:

  <!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd">

generates this error:

External entity WEB-APP not found
  Public identifier -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN
  System identifier http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd


1. Should I use a different major mode?

2. Should I put this dtd on my local system (if so, from where,
and to where)?

Thanks for any pointers.
