    Description

      We export svg files to PDF. The code looks like this: http://pastebin.com/y0bZJMK7

      It seems that Batik cannot operate svg files with tags <pattern> without children.

      There are two svg-files:
      http://pastebin.com/Wd47nhCu - this one works fine
      http://pastebin.com/6yseBWmQ - and this one causes an exception

      org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderException: null
      Enclosed Exception:
      null:-1
      The URI "#p1"
      specified on the element <pattern> is invalid
      at org.apache.batik.transcoder.SVGAbstractTranscoder.transcode(Unknown Source)
      at org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder.transcode(PDFTranscoder.java:193)
      at org.apache.batik.transcoder.XMLAbstractTranscoder.transcode(Unknown Source)
      at org.apache.batik.transcoder.SVGAbstractTranscoder.transcode(Unknown Source)

      According to W3C site (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/pservers.html#Patterns), "If this element has no children, and the referenced element does (possibly due to its own 'xlink:href' attribute), then this element inherits the children from the referenced element."

      Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE) show both svg files correctly, but Batik throws this exception while processing the second file.

      Additional info: exception occurs in class org.apache.batik.util.ParsedURLData, in method buildURL(), in the last line: return new URL(toString());
      Method toString() returns "#p1" in our case, and java.net.URL class doesn't want to consider it as correct URL.
