Hi, I am trying to clip some text within an SVG block using FOP. Below I attach a version of the FOP-XML I am using. When run with fop.sh that comes with the FOP distribution (version 0.20.4), it works fine and clips as expected - varying the clipPath's width will show more or less text accordingly. However, when I pass the FOP-XML to my processor (a servlet) I get the NullPointerException shown after the XML. It seems to be caused by the url not being found but I am at a loss as how to tell the processor that I want to refer to the document itself. Is there a configuration parameter that needs to be set? Is there another way to pass in the reference to the clipPath?
Note that I have tried replacing the clip-path attribute with both of the following which, although they avoid the error, fail to clip the text. clip-path:#xpointer(#4203) clip-path:#xpointer(id(4203)) Any help would be greatly appreciated, Michael FOP-XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
