Hello, Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I want to modify the servlet in such a way so that it can load the xml file from another server via http. I am not sure if this will require modification to the underlying xslt tranformation libraries or what. Unfortuneately i'm not a java programmer so i'm not sure where to start. I can see this being a requirement of other people who use this in a servlet so i was hoping that someone has already done such a modification and could share it. I haven't been able to find this tho on this list or the dev list. right now i'm crossing my eyes at java docs seeing if i can figure anything out but i'm sure someone else has done this and it was relatively easy.

For example you want to give url for the image $web_app$/MyApplication/image/mypic.jpg than your xsl-fo file will have below code <fo:block text-align="center" line-height="40pt" start-indent = "10.0cm"> <fo:external-graphic height="auto" width="auto" content-height="auto" content-width="auto"> <xsl:attribute name="src">url('mypic.jpg')</xsl:attribute> </fo:external-graphic> </fo:block> Hope this will work.
