We recently migrated from Batik 1.5 to v1.6 and noticed that the
SVGDocument.getElementById() method
was broken. We are using RMI to stream the SVGDocument from a server to
one (or more) clients.
A little research showed that the elementsByID list is marked "transient"
in the AbstractDocument:
protected transient Map elementsById
thus preventing RMI from serializing it. The client's copy of the
SVGDocument has a "null" elementsById
list and therefore all calls to getElementByID return "null".
I was wondering what the reason was for marking this component "transient"
and if, perhaps there should
be a "reset() or rebuild()" method to rebuild non-serialized components
(by walking the tree and rebuilding it).
(I assume that this list is for convenience / optimization, and therefore
wouldn't need to be kept in sync
with the "backend" version.)
Thanks,
Ted
