Hard Directory location for image

[Joe Mihalich <jm...@questerra.com>]

 
            Hi,
 
               Is there a way to specify a hard directory location for
an image
            Tag in SVG so Batik can find it?  I tried this (which works
in the adobe svg viewer) but
            Batik choked and displayed the default image it renders if
it can't
            Load an image.
 
                 <image id="image1"
xlink:href="d:\tools\batik\batik-1.1.1\test.jpg" width="10" height="10"
x="0" y="0" />
 
               By the way, I tried it with all combinations of forward
and backward
            Slashes.
 
               I'm using a Java app I wrote that uses the standard
Rasterizer that ships with
            Batik.  I build an SVG file locally which generates the line
above which needs to access
files on the local drive, not from a http url.
 
            Thanks,
            Joe

You specified a file name where the processor expects an URL.
Educate yourself about URLs for example here:
   http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt

Try
  xlink:href="file:///d:/tools/batik/batik-1.1.1/test.jpg"

Did you try a relative path, rather than an absolute one? 

for example, 

xlink:href="..\batik\batik-1.1.1\test.jpg"

Just a thought.
