SVG serving problem
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20001102//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-SVG-20001102/DTD/svg-20001102.dtd">
<svg width="12cm" height="4cm">
<desc>Example rect01 - rectangle expressed in physical coordinates</desc>
<rect x="4cm" y="1cm" width="4cm" height="2cm"
style="fill:yellow; stroke:navy; stroke-width:0.1cm" />
</svg>
Try as I might I cannot get cocoon to serve this file as an SVG file such that my browser recognizes it as an SVG file and invokes the plug-in. Could somebody please tell me the cocoon processing/formatting instructions necessary to get Cocoon to serve the file in such a way that my Internet Explorer with the Adobe SVG 2.0 beta plugin recognizes it as SVG and renders it as such?
As of now, I access this file from : http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/images/shapes/rect01.svg and it renders fine in my browser. But if I copy this file into my own web site: http://www.anjul.com/rect01.svg it shows up in my browser as a regular XML file (the plugin is not invoked and it is not rendered).
Thank you,
Anjul.

works for me too!
Something wrong with your svg plug-in.
It may be that your browser security settings make browser treat
application/svg type of content as one
that should not be handled.

It would be nice if points 4 and 5 below could be overcome
but I suspect it is a Tomcat issue or something that I am
doing wrong. That would enable me to get around the
workaround of appending "?dummy=rect01.svg". Of course, the
problem maybe with Adobe's SVG viewer for Internet Explorer,
or with MSIE itself.
Thanks,
Anjul.

Re: SVG serving problem

Also, one problem I found serving SVG from the Oracle XSQL Servlet
was that earlier releases of the Adobe SVG plugin (maybe even
the current ones) did not like having the character-set information
in the ContentType.
If the servlet sent a ContentType of:
image/svg; charset=UTF-8
the dynamically-served SVG would get ignored,
while a ContentType of:
image/svg
would get recognized ok.
Not sure if this has something to do with how the plug-in
registers itself with IE5 or something, but in any event
removing the character set information solved the problem.

Re: SVG serving problem
Posted by Anjul Srivastava <an...@anjul.com>.
Okay, I found the problem. I thought I should share the
observations for anybody else trying to do similar stuff:
1. cocoon ignores any file that does not match the pattern
*.xml
2. Adobe's SVG viewer ignores any file that does not match
the pattern *.svg
3. You can change the pattern that cocoon matches by
modifying <url-pattern/> in WEB-INF/web.xml
4. You CANNOT (rather, I could not) specify multiple
patterns *.xml and *.svg in web.xml.
5. You CANNOT (rather, I could not) specify a pattern of *.*
or * in web.xml.
The solution:
6. When a cocoon URL is accessed with "?dummy=xxx.yyy"
appended, cocoon translates the SERVED file name as if it
were xxx.yyy. So, instead of accessing:
http://www.anjul.com/rect01.xml I access:
http://www.anjul.com/rect01.xml?dummy=rect01.svg
7. In the XML file, add as the second line: <?cocoon-format
type="image/svg-xml"?> (this is an obvious step)
That causes the SVG image to be successfully displayed by
the Adobe SVG viewer. And all's fine with the world :)
Tip:
<xsl:template match="svg">
<a href="{@name}.xml?dummy={@name}.svg"><xsl:value-of
select="@name"/></a>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
I use the above stylesheet template to automatically add on
the .xml and .svg tags. In my .xml file containing the
links, I add:
<svg name="rect01"/>
<svg name="clock"/>
<svg name="circles"/>
Thanks to everybody for trying my link and helping me out in
figuring the problem. I appreciate it a lot.
Cheers,
Anjul.
