Hi, in my report generating web aplication I use JasperReports to make Pdf and Excel reports. The aplication doesnt store generated reports anywhere - it generates reports on demand and just sends them as the response (or maybe as part of the response, I am not sure yet) .
That means that you dont need to store the reports, unless you want to do that for some other reason. Now the tricky part (at least for me at this point) are report images generated with JFreeChart, that are part of HTML reports or aplication pages. You can't send images inside HTML (not 100% sure about that yet, but pretty sure), so you have to store them somewhere where they can be reached trough an url and reference them inside your HTML report or page. For that you have to use some report and image naming scheme - like a serial id that you increase by 1 for each report.
