Hello,

First I must admit that as far as getting this up and running I failed
miserably and i'm having troubles finding a good guide to get this up and
running.

What i've tried to do is install jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18 on my win2k server.
This seems to be working.  As per the documentation on fop i simply
'dropped' fop.war from the /examples/servlet directory into the webapps
directory in tomcat.  This seem to 'extract' the war file into webapps/fop/.
when i tried to access this from the server i couldn't access
http://localhost:8080/fop/fop?blag : tomcat got mad at me.  i checked in the
tomcat web application manager and /fop was started so i stopped it and
started it again.  no luck.  At this point i removed /fop from the web
application manager and deleted the fop directory and tried to reextract the
war manually into /webapps/fop  thinking that this may help 'reinitialize'
the automatic tomcat installation.  This did not.  Now fop is gone and i
have not been able to bring it back.

Yes i am new to all of this technology but I want to play with it.  If
anyone knows of any resources that better describe installing servlets for
use with tomcat (maybe specifically FOP, but anything would do) that would
be great.  I've been cruising through documentation on this but most of the
documentation seems to assume that this stuff just works; it has not.

I have successfully used fop from the batch file but for my purposes i need
this web enabled.  A servlet would be nice to get running.

Any help on this would be super appreciated,
thanky you for u're time

-Adam
