Hi,

Thanks alot for the input.  Unfortunately, I have the
a static PDF that needs to be merged with one
dynamically created by a pipeline via XML (src)->XSLT
(tranfromer)->FOP (serializer).  Also, I need to
access this content from a request being handled by
another servlet...not the Cocoon servlet.

The dilemma is how to trigger the pipeline to generate
the content, then merge the output with a static PDF,
and send to the outputstream.  I was thinking I could
forward the request, but that would only take care of
the first requirement.  I appreciate any suggestions.

Regards,
Julian
