svg as external graphic error

[Josh Bosquez]

When I try to use a svg file as an extenal graphic I get
this error:



[ERROR] Could not load external SVG:
http://xml.org/sax/features/validation

[ERROR] Error while creating area :
No ImageReader for this type of image (file:

C:/resin-2.1.4/webapps/df/svg/boxes.svg).



I am using it in the FopServlet example. The servlet container is resin with
jdk1-4.



This is the code snippet from my xsl:fo
file:



fo:block  

 fo:external-graphic src=file:C:/resin-2.1.4/webapps/df/svg/boxes.svg/

/fo:block 



When I run the XSL file through the FO plugin of XMLSpy, the
PDF is generated

with no
problems.



Any suggestions?



thanks,

Josh

The error message indicates that Batik wants the XML parser for
the SVG source to validate (odd, ask on the Batik list for further
details). The parser used by default with JDK 1.4 is Crimson,
which I vaguely remember isn't capable of validating.
A workaround would be to ensure that the Xerces parser distributed
with FOP is always used. One possiblity should be to copy the
Xerces jar and perhaps xml-apis.jar into the JRE's lib/endorsed
directory. If this isn't possible, learn about the bootclasspath
and how to fiddle with it (beware...).
