Thanks Clay,
I thought of that and will give it a try. My confidence level for this to work is not terribly high and was wondering if anyone has had definitive success. I'll give it a try and let you know what I find.
Overriding the Batik library didn't seem to help. The interesting thing is that it worked on occassion yesterday. Today I find that it works, but only with entity files that have a limited number of entries. My original entities file has about 250 entries plus comments, and the SVG fails to display. If I cull the entities file down to just a few entries (10-20), it works.
This is sort of a success, I guess.
I haven't found any capacities on the Batik library. I am currently looking through the bug database to see if there is anything there.
When I 'overload' the entities file, there is no error or warning thrown. The only indication is the typical missing or invalid graphic symbol in the Editor interface.
Eureeka,
My problem is that I had invalid byte order in my entities file. After correcting this, I can now load the entire entities file (22kb) in the SVG doctyle subset. Yea!
David,
Initially I had the solution working with the updated Batik library. I have since removed the custom Batik classes and re-tested the document. There appears to be no difference. I originally thought that the problem was an SVG specification difference between 1.0 and 1.1. However, since what I am doing violates SVG best practices and uses the technology outside of the intent for which it was created, I guess it doesn't really matter which spec. implementation I abuse.
