#1 is the real trick. The way I finally got a working implementation was to simply establish an HttpSession to Tapestry to call up the Page requested. Basically mimicing a web browser. I can then capture the OutputStream that way and convert to String, etc for rendering to pdf.
There's extra overhead, plus special account handling for this "worker" session since the Tapestry application is user restricted, but it works. Time permitting, I'll investigate the blog you reference since it might be a cleaner solution. Thanks for the pointers!
