Re[2]: http get to w3.org?

[David Mechner <fo...@mechner.com>]

Thanks for the response.

I decided your first suggestion looks by far the simplest.

>From my reading of the batik docs the following is supposed
to do the trick:

DOMImplementation impl = SVGDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation();
String svgNS = "file:///c:/gra/svg10.dtd";
Document doc = impl.createDocument(svgNS, "svg", null);

(instead of createDocument(null, "svg", null))

However, supplying the local file svgNS URI seems to have no effect on
the generated svg doc.

It still starts out:

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd'>

Am I misunderstanding?

Thanks,
-David
