That won't work in an FO file because FO doesn't know anything about 
transformation. You are right in thinking that you'll have to get the 
information through one of your Java-based steps in the process.

I think the "standard" solution is to use XSLT to produce the FO file, 
which you indicate you are not doing. Given what little I understand of 
your processing model, I would apply the styles in the JSP layer. That 
would let me follow the general rule of applying style as late as possible 
so that I can produce different output formats with as few "upstream" 
changes to the process as possible.

FWIW
