Re: FOP and Tomcat

I don't believe this is because of FOP. Are you using the FopServlet
coming with FOP?

The error message didn't hint at anything wrong with FOP. Do you have
stacktraces? More likely a JSP problem. If you use a servlet the JSP
part of Tomcat shouldn't be involved at all so I don't see the
connection.
