NoClassDefFoundError - SVGDocument

[John Fletcher <jf...@latitudegeo.com>]

Hello all,

I'm trying to embed fop in a jsp page, but get the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/svg/SVGDocument
 at
org.apache.fop.image.analyser.ImageReaderFactory.Make(ImageReaderFactory.jav
a:46)
 at org.apache.fop.image.FopImageFactory.Make(FopImageFactory.java:109)
etc. etc. etc.

Line 46 in ImageReaderFactory is:

 formats.addElement(new SVGReader());

The line in my jsp page that causes the error is:

driver.run();  (where driver is an instance of org.apache.fop.apps.Driver)

The .fo file that I am using works fine from the command line.  I'm using
mandrake linux with jdk1.4 and tomcat 4.0.3.  Batik.jar contains an
org.w3c.dom.svg.SVGDocument, and batik.jar is definitely in my classpath, as
well as in the WEB-INF/lib directory of Tomcat.  Does anyone have any ideas
as far as what may be going on?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.  I put the Batik jar into the Tomcat lib directory and it worked
great.

Tomcat 4.0.3 has a bug in the classloader. Move the Batik
jar and possibly other jars to the Tomcat lib directory.
Consult the Cocoon FAQ for details.
