two DOM tress from one SVG file?

[Judy Qiu]

Hello,   Can anybody help out with the problem I met with? The list is quite long... I will try to split the file into multiple mails.     --- Batik viewer version 1.5 beta 4 --- JDK1.4.1_01 --- Windows 2000 OS   This file lists execution results from a master client and a participating client in a collaborative SVG session. It shows that two different DOM trees generated from the same SVG file on two sides. There's no other operations other than a click on a hyperlink. Both sides load in the same SVG file (file:/C:/batikscript/xml-batik/samples/tests/spec/linking/anchorInsideText.svg) from their local file system. When the master client clicks on an hyperlink to load in another URI, a xpath of the node (element in this case) is generated and broadcast to the paticipating client.   The participating client generates an "java.lang.NullPointerException" when using the "xpath" from master to locate the hyperlink node (element).   The master client returns an "text" element along the xpath ("/0/14/1/10/1/1") as following           +++collaborativesvgviewer.others.NodePathSupport.java==>>getElementofDOMTree==>>tempnode = getNodeItem(currentnode(a), xpath[4](1));           +++collaborativesvgviewer.others.NodePathSupport.java==>>getNodeItem()==>> i=0, n.getNodeName()=#text           +++collaborativesvgviewer.others.NodePathSupport.java==>>getElementofDOMTree==>>tempnode = text                                                                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^ but the participating client uses the xpath ("/0/14/1/10/1/1") and returns an "text" node as following                    +++collaborativesvgviewer.others.NodePathSupport.java==>>getElementofDOMTree==>>tempnode = getNodeItem(currentnode(a), xpath[4](1));           +++collaborativesvgviewer.others.NodePathSupport.java==>>getNodeItem()==>> i=0, n.getNodeName()=#text           +++collaborativesvgviewer.others.NodePathSupport.java==>>getElementofDOMTree==>>tempnode = #text                                                                                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^           +++collaborativesvgviewer.others.NodePathSupport.java==>>getElementofDOMTree==>>tempnode = getNodeItem(currentnode(#text), xpath[5](1));
