I use Tomcat for a very similar function. Unfortunately, the exact servlet given as an example is not what will work. The best way to do it is to modify the example so that the transform is in a separate method which returns a byte[]. This byte array can the be used to write a file to your server as well as to return it to the browser. I find that this is a much simpler and cleaner way of doing it. Are you a confident Java programmer?
