i am just beginning to work with batik, and have a couple of 
problems. one of the problems regards to the TranscodingHintKey... 
maybe i explain first:
i am working with apache cocoon 2.0.1. my goal is to define a 
pipeline, which contains a custom generator (calculating diagram 
informations), the generated xml is transformed to svg via xsl and 
then rendered as jpeg (or png whatever), using the svg2jpeg 
serializer.
the problem is that i have to restart the server, if i re-deploy 
the application. it doesn't matter wheter i use tomcat 3.2.4 
standalone or in combination with jboss 2.2.2.
the origin of the problem seems to be:

<code>

  final class TranscodingHintKey extends RenderingHints.Key {

       TranscodingHintKey() {
           super(10100);
       }

</code>

because i get the error message:

<snip>

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Instance(10100) of 
org.apache.batik.ext.awt.TranscodingHintKey already registered
         at 
java.awt.RenderingHints$Key.recordIdentity(RenderingHints.java:45)
         at java.awt.RenderingHints$Key.<init>(RenderingHints.java:64)
         at 
org.apache.batik.ext.awt.TranscodingHintKey.<init>(Unknown Source)
         at 
org.apache.batik.ext.awt.RenderingHintsKeyExt.<clinit>(Unknown 
Source)

</snip>

while RenderingHints.Key has only unique instances, the (second) 
instantiation of the TranscodingHintKey results in the exception.

by the way: this exception does not just occur when re-deploying an 
application, it gets also thrown, if you access batik from two 
different applications; example: the cocoon/hello.svg and a custom 
application myapp/diagram.svg. the second call results in that 
exception.

while i am not familiar with the java.awt.RenderingHints class, it 
should be possible to use a singleton like pattern, to return the 
existing TranscodingHintKey instance, if it exists. i am looking 
for a solution, but any help would be appreciated!

thank you,

moritz.

p.s.: currently i am using mac os x 10.1.3, jdk 1.3.1 on a 
powerbook g4. but i know that this problem also happens with a 
win2k operating system.
