I am not sure if the problem lies with the apache server or batik. I am trying to convert svg to image in java using Batik in a servlet. When i instantiate SVGConverter in a servlet
SVGConverter svgConverter = new SVGConverter()
Apache returns this error:
Jun 26, 2012 3:28:10 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [FCImg] in context with path [/jsp_batik] threw exception [Servlet execution threw an exception] with root cause

I have included the correct jar files in the project and there doesnt seem to be any errors when compiling the java file that instantiates the SVGConverter object.
Any suggestions are helpful, thanks!
edit: I just had to include the necessary jar files (all the batik jar files) in the WEB-INF/lib folder.
Likely batik-rasterizer.jar is missing in WEB-INF/lib.
