no flowtext, missing extension, etc.

[Kenneth B. Harwood]

flowText.svg loads properly within Squiggle

but i cannot get the "inside" text to

render from my JApplet. if you executed

Squiggle w/out a {batik-extension.jar} in the

<ext> directory you'd get the same result.

i've been through the documentation and user-

list N X. AFAIK i am following batik/java's

"Service" spec carefully.

 

 

SAMPLE CODE (Abbreviated):

 

SAXSVGDocumentFactory f= new SAXSVGDocumentFactory();

Document myDoc= f.createDocument(myURI);

jSVGCanvas.setDocument(myDoc);

 

 

i've examined the batik source. it looks like

using <SAXSVGDocumentFactory> *automatically*

creates an SVGDOMImplementation (default)

instance. although that *should* activate the

Service mechanism to load the DOM extensions,

i don't seem to load any. i have not stepped

into the batik source, however when i examine

LinkedList of extensions at runtime, my list

has Zero length. please see

ExtensibleDOMImplementation.java:

 

protected static List extensions = null;

protected synchronized static List getDomExtensions() {
        if (extensions != null)
            return extensions;

        extensions = new LinkedList();    // attaches o.k.

        Iterator iter = Service.providers(DomExtension.class);

 

        while (iter.hasNext()) {         // as though test always fails
            DomExtension de = (DomExtension)iter.next();

...

}

 

 

SAMPLE JARs:

 

myapplet.jar

------------

 

meta-inf/Manifest.mf

 Class-Path: batik-extension.jar myclasses.jar

 

meta-inf/Services/org.apache.batik.bridge.BridgeExtension  (stolen ..)

meta-inf/Services/org.apache.batik.dom.DomExtension    (stolen ..)

 

 

batik-extension.jar

-------------------

 

stolen from batik distribution

 

 

myclasses.jar

-------------

 

a whole bunch of my java classes

 

 

if i can get some insight into what i am

doing wrong with the DOM extensions i'm

sure i can figure out how to load the

Bridge extensions.

 

anyone have any insights?

 

thanks.
