[Opensource] Copying the Expresso_Config dtd to Core directory

[larry hamel]

copying the DTD to /classess is indeed the permanent solution.  it is searched for as a resource.  I typically use an ant target to do the copy as part of my compile/distribute phase.  if you do a "clean", then you must recopy.

the DTD must be somewhere since it is needed for parsing, and we do not just want it to be fetched via HTTP since, in the HTTP case, you wouldn't be able to start up the server without a working internet connection.  so it has to be in the file system somewhere.  if it is in /classes, we can retrieve it as a resource.

Actually, this works, and I know that this is not a permanent solution. More than that,  after copying the file to the above directory, it works fine for sometime, but at some point of time the file is getting deleted and I need to recopy the dtd file back to the above directly. Any permanent solution to the above problem is appreciated.
