Thank you very much for your immediate response! After looking at flowText.svg I got Batik to create the DOM tree. But as I'm developping a web application and I currently have to use Adobe's SVG Viewer 6pr1 browser plugin to display the svg document I have to use <flow> instead of <flowText>. ASV6 does not render text in <flowText>, it requires <flow>. And the element <flow> is not in the Batik extension namespace. So seems like I'm stuck here. Any ideas or suggestions what I could do?
