agreed
with XMLHttpRequest be aware that your response is returned from XMLHttpRequest
object thru JS function
identified by onreadystatechange handler attribute e.g.
//this assumes you have a valid initialized XMLHttpRequest object called
xmlHttpRequest and the send was successful
xmlHttpReq.onreadystatechange= function() {
//check the status of the XMLHttpRequest for complete transfer
if(xmlHttpRequest.readyState==4)
{
//now that the reponse is complete check HTTP status
if (xmlHttpRequest.status==200)
{
//do normal response stuff here including populating batik dom
}
}
}

Correct, I don't believe this is possible. It's only possible in
Adobe because they can actually run their scripts in the Browsers script
engine such an option is not AFAIK available for Java.

You will need to a little bit of setup in Java first. Basically
you need to bind the Applet and or JSVGCanvas object to a global in
the JavaScript interpreter. You can do this by calling
'getInterpreter(String lang)' (lang should probably be "text/ecmascript")
on the BridgeContext associated with the JSVGCanvas. This will give
you the Interpreter that is being used. On that object you can call
'bindObject(String name, Object obj)'.
That will bind 'obj' to 'name' as a global in the script environment.

Check 'getURL', and parseXML, they are generally a decent work
alike (not quite as flexible).

As I said above you can expose your own Java methods fairly
easily. You are bound by the Applet sandbox (as it Batik) so you
are restricted in the servers you can connect to (of course you
should have similar restrictions with XmlHttpRequest).
Good luck.
