fo:external-graphic problem when using HTTPS - EntityResolver?

[Johan �brandt]

Hi,
I have the following external graphic declaration in a XML file:
<fo:external-graphic src="url('{$base-url}/images/logo.jpg')" 
height="30pt" width="170pt"/>

I render it to a servlet outputstream using:
Driver driver;
driver = new Driver( new InputSource( reader ), out ); 
driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF );
driver.run();

This works just fine when having the server configured for HTTP but when 
using HTTPS, it fails with error:

Error while creating area : Error with image URL: unknown certificate 
and no base directory is specified

I think this is because I am using a own generated certificate and not a 
real certificate from f ex Verisign. I know that I can either create my 
own SecurityManager (effectively disabling security), or use a real 
certificate. I would however like to circumvent all such hazzles and 
retrieve the image in some other means instead, intially I tried to use 
a custom EntityResolver, but I doesnt seem like it is used for image url 
resolution:

i.e.
driver = new Driver( new InputSource( reader ), out ); 
driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF );

XMLReader xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
xmlReader.setEntityResolver( new CustomEntityResolver() );
driver.setXMLReader( xmlReader );
driver.run();
Does anyone have any tips how to get the EntityResolver approach to 
work, or know any other way to achieve something similar.

Best regards - Johan
