John Harpour, Hi John......Thank you for the information....this is great advice for beginners who do not know......I have not checked .....but you say that it is not documented anywhere....it should be!....sounds like a great article for www.xml.com or o'reilly.....I do not know if this should be put on the Batik website or not....(just a thought)...this should be on the Tomcat website though!.....
Thank you for sharing what you have learned...I will certainly use this information.... We all learn by sharing what we know Robert A.
