Ok. From the Java doc: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: Signals that an unexpected exception has occurred in a static initializer. You stacktrace indicates this happens in org.apache.fop.svg.SVGElementMapping.setupSVG() The code is (comments trimmed) private static synchronized void setupSVG() { if(foObjs == null) { XMLResourceDescriptor.setXMLParserClassName(Driver.getParserClassName()); foObjs = new HashMap(); foObjs.put("svg", SVGElement.maker()); foObjs.put("rect", SVGObj.maker("rect")); ... lots of foObjs.put ... } } It uses the class org.apache.batik.util.XMLResourceDescriptor, which happens to have a static initializer: static { bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(RESOURCES, Locale.getDefault()); } This could cause the above mentioned exception, the other stuff doesn't seem to do this. Ergo: something went wrong during loading of the ressource. What's going wrong is hard to guess. Usually, it's a deployment problem. However, you seem to run an unusual JVM. Locale.getDefault() could return an unusual value, perhaps null. If this is the case, you're hosed, complain to the vendor of your JVM. I'm not familiar enough with the failure modes of RessourceBundle.getBundle() to hazard a guess what else could have happened. If you can run the stuff in a debugger, you might be able to deduce it yourself. Otherwise, I'd recommend downloading the source for Batik 1.1 (actually which *is* the version of Batik shipped with 0.20.3?) insert some printlns for debugging in the code and see what happens. Batik seems to be somewhat overzealous in early loading all kinds of stuff all over the place. Someone out there with enough positive standing with the Batik people to tell them to do something about this?
