I am working on struts 2 web application which uses struts2-jquery-plugin-3.1.0.jar for UI. The application is deployed on tomcat, server starts fine if internet connection is enabled, however if the server is behind firewall or internet connection is diabled, the following exception is thrown while starting the server.
