I have submitted a patch
(http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42278) which factors
out resolving from the FopFactory. This is at least a start towards
this aim of Batik and Fop sharing this same core functionality. I've
only touched the surface of Batik so far, but this patch should go
*some* way towards breaking out the dependencies.
I imagine in the longer term the basic URI resolution should maybe go in
Batik with a specialisation of this class in FOP. What does everybody
else think?

Thanks Jeremias. Appreciate you take the time to help out.
Is that the (only) way to tell to Batik to do something user specific
when
resolving relative URI's?
This is the wrong place to ask this question.
I guess the question should have been "is there anyway I can tell fop to
tell batik..."
I understand FOP and Batik are separate projects, but as a FOP user who
wants to embed svg in fo that should not matter....in a perfect world that
is.
My point is that before you can think about how to pass on a URIResolver
to Batik from inside FOP, you have to figure out how you can integrate a
URIResolver into Batik in the first place. That's why I gave you the
links to Cocoon's Batik block. It can provide you with some ideas.
Is there (any other) a way I can have FOP and Batik use the same
URIResolver
interface?
Not at this time. Batik doesn't use URIResolver. You could put in an RFE
with Batik or try to add direct support for it in Batik's source code.
What if FOP would invoke whatever Batik mechanism available to offer its end
user a URIResolver based approach driven through the FOP API. Assume I would
spend a bit of time trying to implement that, would it stand a chance to get
adopted?
Why whouldn't it? The only problem is resources inside the FOP team to
review and apply patches in due time. But good contributions are always
welcome. I guess in the ideal world one would get Batik to integrate
URIResolver functionality directly into the code. But if there's a clean
way to do an adapter, that's fine, too.
So, my tip is to concentrate on Batik first, and on FOP second.
