The class 'org.w3c.dom.svg.SVGDocument' can be found in xml-apis-ext.jar, but since this JAR is not defined in the classpath created by the loader '/usr/bin/fop', FOP will fail.

'xml-apis-ext.jar' is installed through the package 'libxml-commons-external-java', which is installed by 'libbatik-java', which in turn is required for the 'fop' package, so the patch should work in any case.

Hi,

Shouldn't you also add a dependency on libxml-commons-external-java?

While it may be installed by a dependency chain currently if you use it you
should depend on it.

Thanks,

James

@Raphael,

Is it possible for you to provide some test document to quickly verify the fix?

Please find attached sample docbook xml which embeds an SVG image. The error is reproducible with current version of fop in intrepid.

I then modified the /usr/bin/fop to include appropriate jar file in classpath and the error is not present anymore.

The command for converting from xml to pdf is -
$ fop -xml sample.xml -xsl /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl -pdf sample.pdf
