For the info Batik is work fine with both Absolute and Relative URI.

Some tips regarding Relative URI:
- make sure the document base URL is correct, otherwise it couldn't
resolve the relative path. This is normally become a problem if you
create the document on fly rather than load from file.
- Do not forget the set xlink namespace in the element that required it
eg: image
- To keep things simpler (during development debuging) try to put the
relative external resources in the same dir as the doc, however batik
relative URI is work fine in any arbitary dir

Hi Arian, Tonny,

    If it threw a fileNotFoundException you wouldn't get
a rendering.  I believe the user agent is notified at
some point.

    This is almost certainly the problem here.
    When you create the TranscoderInput you can provide a
uri to use as the base URI of the document being transcoded:
	TranscoderInput.setURI(String uri)

    You can also use the 'xml:base' attribute on elements in the
document to set the base URI for URL resolution.
