I've met a problem and I've been struggling last 2 days. I have a compiled
program that runs some simulations and visualizes the results in an SVG
file. The file is replaced every 2 seconds with a new one, until the
simulation is done.
Wanting to visualize the results, I made a java swing program which uses
batik and JSVGCanvas to display the svg file and update it every 2 seconds.
The code I use is:
// In the main part of my code
svgCanvas = new JSVGCanvas();
oneLineInnerPanel.add("Center", svgCanvas);
(new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
File f = new
File("file_that_shows_simulation_still_running");
while (f.exists()) {
svgReloadButtonActionPerformed(null);
Thread.sleep(2000);
}
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(testUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}).start();
// -----------------------------------------------
private void svgReloadButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent
evt) {
try {
svgCanvas.loadSVGDocument(SVGFile.toURL().toString());
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(testUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
}
}
It works fine with the exception that every 30-40 updates, it happens that
the loadSVGDocument tries to read the document while it's being written by
the simulator and thus I get a jdialog error:
XML document structures must start and end within the same entity.
org.apache.batik.dom.util.SAXIOException: XML document structures must
start and end within the same entity.

This doesn't affect the whole procedure, but it's ugly. I get 2-3 of these
jdialogs throughout the simulation. I cannot lock the file I/O, because I
don't have access to the simulator code. If I lock from java only, the
simulator crashes saying it cannot access the file.
What I want is that if there is an error while loading the svg file to
somehow catch it internally and not have a jdialog. I can accept missing an
update every 30-40 times (60-80 secs) instead of getting the jdialogs.
Now, JSVGCanvas gives you the option to provide a useragent and overwrite
the displayError() method to do as you like. I tried that but the dialogs
still occur. The problem is that the dialogs are not produced by the
svgUserAgent I provide but by an internal BridgeUserAgent:
public JSVGComponent(SVGUserAgent ua, boolean eventsEnabled,
boolean selectableText) {
super(eventsEnabled, selectableText);
svgUserAgent = ua;
userAgent = new BridgeUserAgentWrapper(createUserAgent());
addSVGDocumentLoaderListener((SVGListener)listener);
addGVTTreeBuilderListener((SVGListener)listener);
addSVGLoadEventDispatcherListener((SVGListener)listener);
if (updateOverlay != null)
getOverlays().add(updateOverlay);
}
public void loadSVGDocument(String url) {
String oldURI = null;
if (svgDocument != null) {
oldURI = svgDocument.getURL();
}
final ParsedURL newURI = new ParsedURL(oldURI, url);
stopThenRun(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
String url = newURI.toString();
fragmentIdentifier = newURI.getRef();
loader = new DocumentLoader(userAgent);
nextDocumentLoader = new SVGDocumentLoader(url, loader);
nextDocumentLoader.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
Iterator it = svgDocumentLoaderListeners.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
nextDocumentLoader.addSVGDocumentLoaderListener
((SVGDocumentLoaderListener)it.next());
}
startDocumentLoader();
}
});
}
I use the batik-1.7 and JDK 1.7. The same problem exists both on Windows 7
and on Debian Wheezy. Can anyone help me get out of this mess, please?
