FOP has no mechanism to extend protocols

           Summary: FOP has no mechanism to extend protocols
           Product: Fop
           Version: all
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To be used in a web environment, FOP needs to have some sort of
mechanism to process urls that are relative to a web context.
Cocoon uses a "context://" protocol for this purposes--but it can't
set the URLProtocolHandlerFactory for the JVM if the servlet container
does it first.  Both Batik and Cocoon have mechanisms to get around
this limitation.  Cocoon provides an implementation for Batik
so that users can keep using the "context://" protocol.  It would
be great if FOP either used Cocoon's mechanism or Batik's.  That
would reduce the number of URL adapters a project needs to write.

In fact, since FOP already used Batik for inline SVG graphics,
it would be a natural extension to use their mechanism.  That
way there is a consistent environment throughout.
