SVG external graphic doesn't show in FopServlet?

["Carter, Will" <wc...@EnvestNet.com>]

Hi, 

I am having problems with external svg files in my fo file when generating
PDFs using FopServlet. 

I am using fop-0.20.3 

specifically, I have these refs to external graphics in my fo file. 

This works: 
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src=
"file:C:\Progra~1\Allaire\JRun\servers\default\default-app\WEB-INF\classes\g
eneratedjpg.jpg"/>
</fo:block> 

This doesn't work....generatedsvg.svg is in the same directory as
generatedjpg.jpg.  the resulting pdf has a blank space where the svg should
be.

<fo:block> 
<fo:external-graphic
src="file:C:\Progra~1\Allaire\JRun\servers\default\default-app\WEB-INF\class
es\generatedsvg.svg"/>
</fo:block> 

This doesn't work....generatedsvg.svg is in the same directory as
generatedjpg.jpg.  the resulting pdf has a blank space where the svg should
be.

<fo:block> 
<fo:external-graphic
src="file:///c:/Progra~1/Allaire/JRun/servers/default/default-app/WEB-INF/cl
asses/generatedsvg.svg"/>
</fo:block> 

any help would be greatly appreciated.

First: Can you view the SVG with an SVG viewer, like the
one provided by Batik?
Second: Try the FOP command line. Does the SVG show up now?
Are you getting errors?
Third: You may have run into scaling/clipping problems. If
you replace the SVG content (all stuff inside the top level
svg element) by a single blue rectangle, does this show up?

Note that it is advisable to avoid secifying the height/with
of the SVG in pixels, or without any units. Use for example
millimeters instead.
