I know that you wrote this in 2005, but I just want to let you know that this worked great on Cold Fusion 9. Thanks!

Bill, on CF9 my gut says you'll need to put Batik into the /WEB-INF/cfusion/lib folder, as Adobe made some changes to classloading. I haven't tried it myself, but give that a whirl. I doubt any of the CFIMAGE stuff uses Batik, but CFFORM does for some of the Flash-related voodoo.

I am trying to get this going in CF9 and am having issues. Even when I remove all the original Batik files, CFIMAGE still works (which I thought it might not) and when I put the full Batik files in the LIB folder, CF says it can't find them. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Amy,

I'd suspect a file pathing issue with the SVG file. The example assumes the simple case of everything being in the same directory, and that directory being accessed directly from the URL (i.e. not through a front controller such as Fusebox that dissociates URL paths to file paths). However, if the PNG file works, the SVG file ought to as well. Have you confirmed that they're both being written in the locations you think they're being written?

Thanks for this post – it has really helped me, however, I am still having trouble with the embed tag. It keeps returning Object Not Found. I can display the img perfectly, but I want to be able to embed the svg file that was created in case the user does have the SVG Viewer installed.
Can you help? Thanks alot.

I hit this recently as well, we have a lot of apps written on 6.1 that generate PDFs with Apache FOP, which requires batik. We didn't know we had an issue until someone tried to write flash forms… oddly enough I found out that batik was the problem by searching a Flex list.
