Here is the bit of my action that deals with the pdf creation. 

First I transform xml to fo using xsl (and Xalan). The result is written to
an InputSteam, which is passed into FOP. The result from FOP is then written
out the client and the content type is set to "application/pdf".

I do the xml -> fo -> pdf transformation in an Action, and then stream the 
result straight back to the browser.

Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate that I have to have xsl:fo to 
transform the xml, but how best to render this using jsp??? Or do I need a 
servlet???

We had to address a similar issue of creating pdf's from xml and found 
that it can be done in a simple way using xsl:fo to transform the xml. 

Check out http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html
<http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html>  for more info.

Subject: Help - xml to pdf using struts 

I am in the last stages of implementating a Struts application. I now 
have 
to complete the reporting side. This basically consists of displaying 
xml 
output as HTML or PDF. I have the HTML side covered (I am using jakarta 
XTags) but how do I render an xml to fo transformation to pdf by using 
struts. I am aware of stxx but as far as I can see you have to override 
the 
actionservlet etc and this seems an overhead for what is a small part of 
the 
app. Can anyone please give some suggestions.
