Hi Kevin,

An ICLA is not a pre-requisite for processing a patch unless the patch adds new files \
or represents a significant contribution, but we have received your ICLA

Thanks,

Chris
                
> Null pointer exception in XMLAbstractTranscoder
> -----------------------------------------------
> 
> Key: BATIK-946
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-946
> Project: Batik
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SVG Rasterizer
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Environment: Operating System: Linux
> Platform: PC
> Reporter: Christopher Heiny
> Assignee: Batik Developer's Mailing list
> Attachments: XMLAbstractTranscoder.java.patch
> 
> 
> In version 1.7, at line 109 of XMLAbstractTranscoder, the code assumes that a hint \
> has been provided for KEY_XML_PARSER_VALIDATING, casts it to Boolean, and invokes \
> the booleanValue() method.  If the user has not provided this hint (quite likely \
> since many of the examples and tutorials on the web omit this hint entirely), a \
> null pointer exception results, causing a mysterious and unexplained crash. This \
>                 bug also exists in the trunk in SVN.
> Recommendation: Either have sensible default for the case when this hint is null, \
> or throw an appropriate exception with a descriptive error message.
