Hello Jeff,
Try element.setAttributeNS(SketchPadConstants.SVG_XLINK_NS, "href",
GROUP_NAME);

I'm having trouble inserting a "use" element into a Document. This
is a basic drawing application that has a "stamp" tool, and for this
stamp I'm using a group. When I try to append the use element to the
document I get the error "The attribute "xlink:href" of the element
<use> is required". The xlink:href attribute is most certainly
present, here is the code that creates the element:
element.setAttributeNS(SketchPadConstants.SVG_XLINK_NS, "xlink:
href", GROUP_NAME);
You will also get this error if the value of the
xlink:href attribute is the empty string. Is it possible that
GROUP_NAME isn't getting set for some reason?
final Element element = getElement();
element.setAttributeNS(SketchPadConstants.SVG_XLINK_NS,
X_ATTRIBUTE_NAME, "" + origin.getX());
element.setAttributeNS(SketchPadConstants.SVG_XLINK_NS,
Y_ATTRIBUTE_NAME, "" + origin.getY());
Also as someone else pointed out the 'x' and 'y' attributes
on the use element are not in the xlink namespace, they are in
the 'null' namespace.
If I save the document to the file system after inserting a few of
these stamps, and then open it, the stamps render without any
problems. Could there be something that is happening under the
covers in the save/open process?
There is lots that happens during the save/restore processes
in particular the namespaces are rebound based on the prefixes.
So if your constant for the XLINK NS was wrong this is the behavior
you would see.
