Tomcat and Servlet Example fails XML / XSL call

[Mark Malone <ma...@mac.com>]

Folks,

Folks,

I'm having trouble successfully calling the FopServlet included in the 
examples directory  of FOP 0.20.4.
The servlet has two example methods of being called:
	1) Call passing an FO file and a PDF is returned
	2) Call passing an XML and an XSL file and a PDF file is returned

My problem is with the second approach which works fine from the 
command line but not within Tomcat. I've read several posts on this and 
the fop-dev board that involve moving the contents of the  fop/lib 
directory into the tomcat/common/lib directory however the error is the 
same whether I put them there or in my web-inf/lib directory and that 
is...


-> javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not initialize BSF Manager
	at FopServlet.renderXML(FopServlet.java:134)
	at FopServlet.doGet(FopServlet.java:73)
	at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740)
	at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)

Look familiar?
I'm Running: Tomcat : 4.1.12 and fop: 0.20.4

my web-inf/lib directory contains:

	avalon-framework-cvs-20020315.jar
	batik.jar
	cos.jar
	fop.jar
	FopServlet.class
	mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.jar
	xalan-2.3.1.jar
	xercesImpl-2.0.1.jar
	xml-apis.jar

and Tomcat is vanilla install for 4.1.12

Any clues or hints from successful Tomcat / FOP users out there would 
be greatly appreciated.  Any ideas in gereral would be nice as well.

Not really, but looks like bsf.jar is absent. That could be the case if your 
stylesheet contains xalan extension functions hence bsf.jar is required.
