They did that for one of the two functions that were added to the GraphicsNode interface, but that other function is too subclass-dependent. I looked at the subclasses--one explicitly returns NULL, some do more advanced calculations, etc., for that function. (I'm not even sure if what I copied is best for the FOP subclass--but it is probably sufficient.) With what it knows about its subclasses, the "best" AGN could probably do is return NULL. That would have allowed FOP's code to quietly compile, but would probably have caused severe logical errors later while running. So they possibly did us a favor by not implementing it in AGN. > > Both projects, Batik and FOP, have changed their > APIs in their past. > That is allowed but the projects should care about > their customers and > avoid generating unnecessary problems. I agree--I'm angry about this irresponsible treatment from the Batik team too! Let's get revenge on them and remove FOP's TRAX/XSLTInputHandler!!! ;) Glen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
