images in svg not serializing as jpeg

[Lincoln Mitchell <li...@interfaces-n-creatives.com>]

How do I create a jpeg from an SVG which has reference to a relative
external image?
In previous posts I read that you can't write...
xlink:href="image.jpg"
... because the path CAN'T be relative. Is this true?

Any workarounds?

Yes, and not really (as you will have seen from the archives;
this is pretty much a FAQ).
 
You need to find a way to insert the path into the image href
when creating the link.  It should not be that hard with Cocoon.

Yes, that's true. The SVG2JPEG serializer (based on Apache Batik) has no 
idea on how to resolve relative paths since no context is available. A 
fix as letting Batik work with Cocoon's source resolver has never been 
implemented.

Only solution that works out of the box is to use a absolute http:// 
path pointing back to the Cocoon instance and let Cocoon resolve the 
path in the sitemap by providing an appropriate pipeline delivering the 
image. That way you can get the path even kind of relative.
