Does it return null or are some of the intermediate things NULL?

Your code to initialize the prefix map should look like that in
parseXML:
Map prefixes = new HashMap();
prefixes.put(XMLConstants.XMLNS_PREFIX,
XMLConstants.XMLNS_NAMESPACE_URI);
prefixes.put(XMLConstants.XMLNS_PREFIX + ':'
+ XMLConstants.XLINK_PREFIX,
XLinkSupport.XLINK_NAMESPACE_URI);
res = DOMUtilities.parseXML(text, doc, uri, prefixes,
SVGConstants.SVG_SVG_TAG, df);
> Node n = DOMUtilities.parseXML("<use xlink:href=\"#QuestionMark\"
overflow=\"visible\" width=\"10.512\" height=\"6.273\" x=\"5\" y=\"10\"
/>", doc, svgFile.toURI().toString(), map, "g", documentFactory);
You should also wrap things in an 'svg' element.
I don't see anything obvious wrong and since I think your first
parseXML
call should work I think you will need to add some debugging code to
Batik to figure out what is happening. I would suggest printing any
exception in DOMUtilities.parseXML (right at the end it eats any
exceptions from parsing the fragment and importing it).
