I agree with Bertrand - Cocoon is an excellent framework in which to generate xml and pipe it into FOP.
IMHO the most convenient way to integrate an xml generator with Cocoon is to write your xml generator as an ordinary http servlet, then you can integrate it with Cocoon without any further java programming, and without having to implement any special Cocoon interfaces, so the learning curve is nice and easy. And of course, http is a nice standard interface that you can access with many other tools as well. Cocoon allows you to define a "pipeline" of step-by-step xslt transformations, xincludes, etc, that eventually produce a fo document, and then serialize it through FOP. You can also access the .fo document from Cocoon, or any intermediate documents, which is useful for debugging.
