[BATIK-555] SVGGraphics2D.stream(*) corrupts created document.

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 1.5
• Component/s: SVGGraphics2D
• Environment: Operating System: All; Platform: All

Description

The document created with an SVGGraphics2D object is corrupted(becomes empty)
after invoking SVGGraphics.stream methods.The document must be explicitly set
to root before streaming (using SVGGraphics2D.getRoot(Document ) ) unless it's
lost. If this is the correct behavior, please update Javadoc (see BATIK-509).

Code example:

Document doc = ... ; // create a document with a dom implementation
SVGGraphics2D svgG2d = new SVGGraphics2D(doc);

//render into SVGGraphics2D object
svgG2d.setPaint(...); svgG2d.fill(...) ....

//stream the created Document, it works fine the first invocation
svgG2d.stream(out, true); //out is a Writer

//BUG-- spits an empty document. the created document is lost.
svgG2d.stream(out,true);

remark:

To fix this problem, one can add the following code before streaming the document:

Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
svgG2d.getRoot(root);
