Just for clarification: i did not recommend temporary files over intermediate DOM trees. I recommend a SAX event stream over any of temporary files, intermediate in-memory buffers for serialized XML or intermediate DOM trees. A DOM tree is often still preferable over some serialization because of performance (no reparsing) but not necessarily because of memory consumtion (depends on the implementation). You can generate SAX events from DB data, and you can use a SAXSource to get it into a transformation and a SAXResult to pipe it further to FOP. Xalan is capable of streaming transformation (within limits), thereby greatly reducing memory load. Note that extending JVM memory significantly beyond available physical memory will not cause "a little bit" of swapping but a rather drastic performance reduction because of swapping caused by GC, even if not all that much memory is used at any one time.
