I am new to fop and can get it to run command line, but would like to get it

I have followed the info on fop's embedding page using fop.war file in the
webapps directory of Tomcat on ver 3.2 and 4, but cannot get it to work
using:
http://localhost:8080/fop/fop?fo=... or
http://localhost:8080/fop/servlet/fop?fo=...
I would just like to get a simple pdf to come back to my browser to prove a point to my group leader. Any help would be appreciated

Gale,
I dropped in the WAR, put my .fo file into /webapps and called the servlet with
http://localhost:8080/fop/fop?fo=../webapps/test.fo or http://localhost:8080/fop/fop?xml=../webapps/test.xml&xsl=../webapps/test.xsl
notice the ../ at the beginning of the path to the files. That's because the default root path for files in tomcat is /bin so you have to start the relative path from there.
