Sorry to reply to my own message, but it was the RPM installation not
passing the endorsed.directories. Read on only if this is relevant to you. I
hope this helps anybody else, who might be encountering similar problems
using Fop with a Tomcat RPM installation.
This was my good start-up, which was Tomcat 4.1.18 hand-installed:
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/java -Xms32m -Xmx256m
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/bin:/usr/java/jakarta-t
omcat-4.1.18/common/endorsed -classpath
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/lib/tools.jar:/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/bin/bo
otstrap.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
-Dcatalina.home=/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/temp
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
And this was my bad start-up with Tomcat 4.1.24 installed using the RPM:
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs= -classpath
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/lib/tools.jar:/var/tomcat4/bin/bootstrap.jar
-Dcatalina.base=/var/tomcat4 -Dcatalina.home=/var/tomcat4
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tomcat4/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
start
The RPM installation sets java.endorsed.dirs to nothing, which means that
the XML parser remained unendorsed.
Now that I've spotted this, I have also set -Xms32m -Xmx256m to increase the
memory for large files, and edit.
I've added into /usr/bin/dtomcat4:
--------8<--------
# Endorsed directories
JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS="${CATALINA_HOME}/common/endorsed"
echo "Using JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS:${JAVA_HOME}"
# Java options - we want lots of memory for Fop
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms32m -Xmx256m ${JAVA_OPTS}"
--------8<--------
Everything is running OK now, except for the fact that I get the error in
catalina.out similar to that reported at
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg37249.html .
Evidently, Fop's choice of XML parser doesn't agree with Tomcat. Having said
that, I have got a working configuration now.

Subject: fopservlet classpath problem... or is it?
Most, but not all, XSL files rendered by FopServlet get me the exception
below from my Tomcat 4.1.24 installation installed via RPMs. Running it at
the command line works fine. I have a Tomcat 4.1.18 installation not
installed via RPMs which works OK with the same XML and XSL files. On both
platforms, I'm using JDK 1.4.1. I've put xalan-2.4.1.jar,
xercesImpl-2.2.1.jar and xml-apis.jar into /var/tomcat4/common/endorsed.
Should I be doing something else to sort out the classpath, or am I barking
up the wrong tree?
