Write the results into an output stream. Then convert the output stream into
an input stream and convert that into PDF.
I wrote a servlet to take the output from Saxon and turn it into input for
FOP. Here's the relevant chunk:
// Here's where the output from Saxon becomes the input for FOP.
ByteArrayOutputStream transformResult = transformXML(transform, source,
req, res);
if (transformResult.size() == 0)
{
res.getOutputStream().println("Transform produced no output");
}
else
{
ByteArrayInputStream transformStream = new
ByteArrayInputStream(transformResult.toByteArray());
makePDF(transformStream, res);
}
