I had the same problem, but with running my application from an Ant build file instead of your applet context. This made me realize that the batik-src/resources directory was not on the classpath. After adding it, it (also) worked like a charm! Thanks for taking the time to post your solution after you found it. As you can see, it helps others greatly! -- View this message in context: http://batik.2283329.n4.nabble.com/Fw-loadSVGDocument-generates-NullPointerException-tp2971376p4655313.html Sent from the Batik - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: batik-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: batik-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
