You should use a subject line indicating the problem you
have.

As for the problem itself: What version of Tomcat are you
using? If it is 4.0.3, you have probably hit a well known
problem, upgrade to 4.0.4.
In all other cases, try to recompile the FOP servlet with
your local JDK first. If it still doesn't work, ask on a
Tomcat list. The FOP servlet works for a lot of people,
including me, so either you made a deployment error, or
you hit another Tomcat problem, neither of which can be
fixed by FOP.
