My point is that before you can think about how to pass on a URIResolver
to Batik from inside FOP, you have to figure out how you can integrate a
URIResolver into Batik in the first place. That's why I gave you the
links to Cocoon's Batik block. It can provide you with some ideas.

Why whouldn't it? The only problem is resources inside the FOP team to
review and apply patches in due time. But good contributions are always
welcome. I guess in the ideal world one would get Batik to integrate
URIResolver functionality directly into the code. But if there's a clean
way to do an adapter, that's fine, too.

So, my tip is to concentrate on Batik first, and on FOP second.
