Nope. AFAIK the null pointer you are receiving has only got to do with
a security exception.

There seem to be multiple requests about this in the mailing lists [1]
[2]. In experiments I've attempted to skip the security thing but
wasn't (yet) successful.
I've recently had a chat (at the SVG IRC channel [3]) with Cameron
McCormack (one of the main developers) about the matter and a simple
XMLHttpRequest (XHR) implementation was proposed - based in creating a
bridge with the browser's native XHR object. Unfortunately, I don't
expect having time in the next few weeks for more experiments which,
whenever successful, will then be committed to the Wiki [4] and/or to
the mailing list. :-) Want to help here? There's already a closely
related thread [5] (at batik-dev [2]) which seems to be [6] the proper
place to further develop this subject.

You are right, I believe that more applet-based examples should be
created so Batik can receive the attention it deserves! :-)
Could you also give a hand here? ;-)
