A quick test shows no problems deploying the example fop.war under Sun JDK 1.5.0_10 on Tomcat 5.5.23.
If xmlgraphics-commons.jar and fop.jar are both in the WEB-INF/lib directory (i.e. both end up in the same place in the class loader hierarchy) then this should work fine. Maybe another copy of fop.jar has been placed somewhere higher in the class loader hierarchy, i.e. check common/lib, common/endorsed, server/lib, shared/lib and the JDK's jre/lib/ext and jre/lib/endorsed directories for superfluous fop.jar copies.
