how to use just the CSS engine?

[Christian Franck <ch...@dni.lu>]

Hi,


I am especially interested in the CSS engine part of batik.
My intention is use it for (custom) CSS, non SVG purposes
(please dont kick! :).


So what I did so far is to create a new "CSS CSSEngine" instead of the 
SVGCSSEngine, and I used a "CSS DOMImplementation" similar to 
SVGDOMImplementation. This implementation gives me instances of 
CSSStylableElement for classes outside the SVG-namespace ...

Despite all my efforts, its not working yet...
(All the CSSStyleDeclaration I can get from my ViewCSS are "null".)


While I keep working on it, a problem is that almost all my informations 
come from reverse-engineering.

Please let me know if you can share some
a) general comments or advice about how to do it
b) links to other work based on the CSS engine


Many thanks,
Christian

    Sorry to be slow responding, the message kind of got lost
in a flood.  I'm guessing that you are missing the setup/running
of the CSSEngine.  In Batik this is done in the
batik.bridge.BridgeContext class.

     Sorry I can only provide a.
