I'm writing an extension of the FopServlet.java included in Apache FOP.

My platform is Linux CentOS 5.7-64bit, with Tomcat 5.5.

The servlet 'works', but I'm unable to process SVG files.

The error I get when Tomcat runs the servlet is

'Batik not in classpath'.

But in 'webapps/fop/WEB-INF/lib' there is 'batik-all-1.7.jar' and all the other jars.

I'm not a java expert, so I'm unable to focus on the problem; googling around, maybe there is a missing jar, but which one?

It appears to be a bug in Fop where they forgot to include a dependency.

The missing class is in the JAR file - xml-apis-ext.jar Which is also available from the Apache xml-commons project.

The error message is misleading, this is really a lack of xml commons external.

If you are executing Batik from fedora using the .jar file it is quite painful due to the java ignoring the -classpath flag. I assume batik in /usr/share/java Select the location according to your system One solution could be the following: create a scratch directory (I assume you are superuser, anyway you always can sudo commands)

# mkdir scratch
# cd scratch
# jar -xf /usr/share/java/batik-rasterizer.jar

This output the content of the jar file into scratch, then create a MANIFEST.MF file or take the output one from the dump

#cp META-INF/MANIFEST.MF .

Now edit the MANIFEST.MF file (I like to use vi, anyone use their preferred one)

#vi MANIFEST.MF

Add a Class-Path: line into the MANIFEST.MF as for example:

Class-Path: batik-all.jar xmlgraphics-commons.jar xml-commons-apis-ext.jar pdf-transcoder.jar avalon-framework.jar avalon-framework-api.jar apache-commons-logging.jar apache-commons-io.jar

Then close the file and recreate the jar file

#jar cmf MANIFEST.MF /usr/share/java/batik-rasterizer.jar org/*

Include all jar that batik has nested classes

Then you can use it!

$java -jar /usr/share/java/batik-rasterizer.jar -scriptSecurittyOff -m image/png -d image.png image.svg

for example

And that is!!!
