Re: Batik Servlet

["Kenneth B. Harwood" <ru...@comcast.net>]

This thread (originally started on 11-November-2004) was
very helpful.  TW's posted advice (see below) just solved
my (almost identical) problem.

I was trying to convert a (200 KB) .svg to a (thumbnail-
sized) .jpg using batik's transcoder API.  My configuration:

Batik 1.6
J2SE 5.0
Tomcat 5.5.9
Win2K Pro

I  experienced the same sort of "TranscoderException":
Enclosed exception:null ... The URI "#linearGradient ...
is invalid ..

BTW, TW's code solution has incorrect syntax.  Here's my
modification:

        in.setURI(f.toURI().toString());
