I had the same problem.(Not IE problem)
FOPServlet works fine under Tomcat3.2.3 and OC4J(Orion).
IE has a URL problem. but this is not the case.
FO -> FOP -> PDF works fine under WebLogic6.1sp1 as well.
XML + XSL ->Xalan ->FO -> FOP ->PDF won't work.
PDF file size was 0 in NN also.
I thought Xalan failed. I noticed FO wasn't created. but I got no exception.
I changed server's CLASSPATH. but nothing was changed.
I think this problem is specific to weblogic. and I couldn't solve it.
