SVGGraphics2D to create a DOM document

[Hugh Eland]

Hi,

I am trying to use SVGGraphics2D to create a DOM document, which I will then output in 
various formats in my application.
The below code always produces a

Error in transcoder org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderException: The specified XML 
document fragment is not an SVG document

>From reading the newsgroups I now understand that the  document is only used as a 
>factory, and not populated by the SVGraphics.

I have tried following the stuff on the new getRoot() method ( 
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9520 ) but don't immediately see how 
this helps...

Is this the wrong approach? - I want the graphics stored in DOM document so I can 
output in different forms...

(Tried with Batik 1.5b3 and JDK1.4)

Cheers

Hugh

        SVGGraphics2D sg;
        DOMImplementation domImpl = // Get a DOMImplementation
                GenericDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation();

        // Create an instance of org.w3c.dom.Document
        String svgNS = SVGDOMImplementation.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI;
        Document document = domImpl.createDocument(svgNS, "svg", null);

        // Create an instance of the SVG Generator
        sg = new SVGGraphics2D(document);

        // Draw the image
        drawGraphics(sg);

        try
        {
                JPEGTranscoder t = new JPEGTranscoder();
                t.addTranscodingHint(JPEGTranscoder.KEY_QUALITY,
                             new Float(.8));
                TranscoderInput input = new TranscoderInput(document);
                TranscoderOutput output = new TranscoderOutput(ostream);
                        t.transcode(input, output);
                return true;
        }
