I am using Apache FOP 2.0 in a jsf application (with JBoss 7) to create pdf files. But I get the following error if I want to include a svg:
Image not available. URI: image/svg.svg. Reason: org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.ImageException: The file format is not supported. No ImagePreloader found for image/svg.svg (No context info available): org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.ImageException: The file format is not supported. No ImagePreloader found for image/svg.svg
The error only occur with svg files. Other image types (jpg or png) work correctly. So I did some research and found some approaches:
Apache FOP in a Java Applet - No ImagePreloader found for data
I changed my pom so xmlgraphics-commons is loaded before fop, but it did not work. I am using xmlgraphics-commons in version 2.0.1 batik in version 1.8 and avalon-framework (api and impl) in version 4.3.1.

My last approache was to use the hints from the last post (from morjane), but it did not solved my problem.
Some have problems with barcode libraries but I am not using one.
If anyone can give me a hint or has an idea how to solve this error I would be very grateful. Please ask if more information are needed. Thanks in advance.
Adding xercesImpl to my pom fixed the problem.
<dependency>
<groupId>xerces</groupId>
<artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
<version>2.11.0</version>
</dependency>
It also fixed the following error I had using batik for .svg to .eps conversion:
org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderException: null Enclosed Exception: SAX2 driver class org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser not found.
