The CCS engine for the document is set in BridgeContext.initializeDocument(), which is called by org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.build(). But it seems there is no way to set CCS engine from FOP classes(such as BatikElement). (I do not want to modify Batik source code).
It also appears that you are trying to map just the flowText element.
For the svg elements, FOP extension maps <svg> to SVGElement and all other tags to SVGObj. I am using the same approach for batik extensions: <flowText> to BatikElement and all other tags to BatikObj. BatikElement creates the root document for batik namespace.
You can't really render an SVG document as a bunch of disconnected pieces.
The SVG specification is pretty clear that SVG elements must have a parent SVG elementIt seems Batik requires each child of SVG element must be SVG element( or belongs to same document). <svg> Batik DOM element is created through SVGDOMImplmentation, while <flowText> Batik DOM element is created through ExtensibleSVGOMImplementation. I have to have a different root document for all the batik extension elements, otherwise the system uses SVGDOMImplementation to create generic DOM element.
It sounds like you want to make a small change so FOP uses the ExensibleSVGDOMImplementation instead of SVGDOMImplementation for all the elements.
I think you really want to try and "fix" the existing SVG element mapping stuff in FOP.How to do this? I stuck in this problem now and do not know what to do the next. Can someone please help me implement this batik extension in FOP?
I don't think you can really fix this without making changes in FOP. It looks like you might be able to just change the init method in SVGElement.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Jay,
Well the problem you are having is because you haven't setup the CSS engine for Batik. This is normally done by the batik.bridge.BridgeContext class in Batik. However, it also appears that you are trying to map just the flowText element - The SVG specification is pretty clear that SVG elements must have a parent SVG element - of course you can try and do it without this but I think it's a mistake.
I think you really want to try and 'fix' the existing SVG element mapping stuff in FOP rather than try and reproduce this work.

I solved the element class mapping issue, but still get exception at org.apache.batik.bridge.CSSUtilities.convertDisplay() because getComputedStyle(e, SVGCSSEngine.DISPLAY_INDEX) returns null on flowTextElement. If I set the method to return true, then I get exception at org.apache.batik.bridge.CSSUtilities.convertVisibility() for the same reason.
I have added the attached three files: (1) BaticElement.java (2) BatikElementMapping.java (3) BatikObj.java and registered BatikElementMapping class with fop.
Because flowTextElement needs its own document object for using ExtensibleSVGDOMImplementation to create child elements, I have to add addGraphic() into the BatikElement.java file.
Also org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractParentNode does not allow adding child with different document object, I have to comment out if (n.getOwnerDocument() != getCurrentDocument()) in checkAndRemove() method.
Pleae help me check what is wrong here. Probably you have add the batik extension into next release of FOP.
Thanks.

Difficult to tell... ( also because I haven't used Batik
directly )
Does this happen with other graphic formats too? What versions
(FOP & Batik)
are you using? Is FOP being run from the command-line - using
the supplied
shell script to set its classpath - or embedded?
Check http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#batik to find
out why I think
these questions are important.
Hope this helps ( you both )
