The problem seems to be caused mainly by the fact, that working direcory
is set to some obscure directory ($CATALINA_HOME/bin/ in
my case) in the container, so relative paths are relative to the middle of
nowhere and not to a well defined point inside the application.
OK, I have found a partial solution. I have changed code for the
org.apache.fop.tools.URLBuilder.buildURL(String s), so it can use a
special format of URL in form resource:/my/direcory/file. The method now
looks like this:
if (spec == null)
throw new NullPointerException("spec must not be null");
File f = new File(spec);
if (f.exists()) {
return f.toURL();
}
if (spec.startsWith("resource:")) {
URL result =
URLBuilder.class.getResource(spec.replaceFirst("resource:", ""));
if (result != null)
return result;
}
URL u1 = new URL(spec);
return u1;
This "solution" isn't perfect, but someone other can find it usefull for
purpose of his own.

PS: The font configuration now looks like this:
<font metrics-file="resource:/module/resources/timescs.xml"
kerning="yes" embed-file="resource:/module/resources/times.ttf">
<font-triplet name="TimesCS" style="normal" weight="normal" />
<font-triplet name="TimesCS" style="normal" weight="bold" />
</font>
