Research direction

Start by reviewing the Export Server v4 configuration and the path that produces exported SVG, comparing its output with v2.1.0 and the reported Jaspersoft/Batik failure. Done means determining whether a supported configuration prevents feDropShadow in the SVG and documenting the verified result.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Question

What options must be set in the configuration of the Export Server, so that the exported SVG does not include ?

How the problem came up

Export Server v2.1.0 does not included the <feDropShadow> in the SVG code.
Export Server v4 does however.
-> This crashes my Jaspersoft PDF-Report engine

Actual behaviour

Jaspersoft Reporting engine crashed when <feDropShadow> is in the SVG code.
