Thanks for the feedback. I was unaware of the beta SVG viewers for Mozilla from Adobe.
I'll have to look into them to see if they meet our needs. That certainly looks like the fastest path forward that I know of.
Thanks,
Charlie

There are Adobe SVG Viewers for Linux and Solaris, they are beta
(=officially unsupported) but pretty solid:

It's possible to use the ASV in Netscape 6 but it's buggy.
There is also a Mozilla SVG project http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/
And there is nothing wrong with rasterizing on the server. Depends how
important it is to have SVG on the client side. You could also create
PDF on the server, and persist the vectors but deliver them in a non-SVG
format.

(Netscape/Mozilla)
Charlie,
I think there are a couple things you can do:
a. You could write an applet. This is not very recommended with Batik as
the size of the code is pretty large.
b. You could use JavaWebStart. For example, see:
http://xml.apache.org/batik/batikDemo.html
JavaWebStart is support for Win, Linux, MacOS X and Solaris
I have not found a description of all the supported browsers
(I know Netscape 4.x that I use is supported as well as IE, but
I am not sure about Mozilla).
c. You could write a pluggin based on BlackWood for Mozilla:
http://www.mozil la.org/projects/blackwood/java-plugins/
There have been proofs of concept in the past but there is not
active work going on in that space that I know of. This would
let you write a pluging for SVG in Mozilla, using Batik.
Cheers,
Vincent

So far, it looks like Adobe SVGViewer 3.0 will cover the Win/IE
collection of users and Win/Netscape 4.7x (but not 6.x) users. I am
looking for either an applet or a server-side component that will letmeprovide support for Win/NS6 and Linux/Solaris users.
Can I use batik to address this need? Can I use it as an applet? Or,
should I use it server-side and have it render PNG files?
Any and all comments and feedback are appreciated. I am new to batik
and trying to learn about its features and limitations.
Thanks in advance,
Charlie
