Duplicate image references in SVG

[Andres Toussaint]

Hi All,

When I add two instances of the same image to my document via the <image> , and add a actionListener to the group, only the first instance of the <image> reacts to the actionEvents.

How can I have duplicate references to the same image inside my SVG, but that behave as individual instances to the EventListener? (I am using a JSVGCanvas to represent the document)

For instance, i want tyhis image xlink:href="../equipment/aircraftSpruce/M07TACH.svg" uid="OMU_93", and the same one, with uid="OMU_93_2" to be placed on different loations on the canvas, and to react individually to the MouseEvents. Each is placed in its own Element.

I am aware that perhaps this is an SVG related issue, but any head start would be truly appreciated,

Andres.

Abstract of the Element constructor:
String svgNS = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
String xlinkNS = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
Element img = document.createElementNS(svgNS, "image");
img.setAttributeNS(null, "x", x.toString());
img.setAttributeNS(null, "y", y.toString());
img.setAttributeNS(null, "width", width.toString());
img.setAttributeNS(null, "height", hgt.toString());
img.setAttributeNS(xlinkNS,"xlink:href", image);
img.setAttribute("uid", uid);
imgGroup.add(img);
