Installing FOP for use in servlet under Tomcat

[Mike Kellstrand <mi...@rapix.com>]

I have downloaded FOP from Apache and used it to write a xsl-fo java application.
I added the FOP jars to the j2sdk/jre/lib/ext  dir.   Everything works fine.

Now I want to use this code in a servlet. Where do I install the jars for Tomcat
to use them?   I've tried putting them in several different lib dirs, but the same
code gets transform exceptions.

I ran into this same problem last year.  I spent a long time juggling jars 
around different lib dirs until I got the right combination.

How do I add the FOP jars in so they work?

Thanks!

Mike

The general rule is to wrap the FOP jars, along with
any other your servlet app will need, with your web
application.  (i.e. in webapps\mywebapp\lib)

To simplify things, I don't believe you need Xerces or
Xalan libraries in Tomcat anymore if you're running
J2SE 1.4--it may be helpful to remove them as well.

The Tomcat (and Struts) user lists tend also to be
very helpful:
