You're going to need to use the xlink namespace, not null for xlink attributes. This is quietly "fixed" when saving/loading from a document which is why it works when you do that.

My java code is as following: String svgNS = SVG12DOMImplementation.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI; Element icon = svgDoc.createElementNS(svgNS, SVGConstants.SVG_IMAGE_TAG); icon.setAttributeNS(null, SVGConstants.XLINK_HREF_QNAME, iconPath); icon.setAttributeNS(null, SVGConstants.SVG_WIDTH_ATTRIBUTE, "100"); icon.setAttributeNS(null, SVGConstants.SVG_HEIGHT_ATTRIBUTE, "100"); icon.setAttributeNS(null, SVGConstants.SVG_X_ATTRIBUTE, "30"); icon.setAttributeNS(null, SVGConstants.SVG_Y_ATTRIBUTE, "30"); svgRoot.appendChild(icon); If I save the generated SVG code into a file, and load that file, I can see my image without any problem. If I do the following changes to the code, I do not have the exception anymore, however my image become a broken link icon. String xlinkNS = SVGConstants.XLINK_NAMESPACE_URI; icon.setAttributeNS(xlinkNS, SVGConstants.XLINK_HREF_QNAME, iconPath); If I save the generated SVG code into a file, and load that file, I still can see my image without any problem. Does anyone know what maybe the problem causing this? Is this a known bug in Batik or I'm doing something wrong? Thanks.
