i forget to mention.
i got xml file, and also its xsl stylesheet to present it in browser.

is it possible to make transformation without saving xml and xsl file on
disc? i found some examples but there is allways transformation of files
saved on disc.
i generate xml file and after that i download it (xml case).

i would like if it is possible to make:
generate xml file (without saving)
load xsl file
generate pdf file
download it

thanks

The xmlpdf package seems to be the easiest to use and the support is pretty good.

http://www.xmlpdf.com

The trick is to get it to work on the web. Here's a good example:
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import xmlpdf.*;

public class PDFMaker extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
String urlLocation = "/dbgeneratedxml.xml";
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(urlLocation);
java.net.URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
java.io.InputStream XMLinput = conn.getInputStream();

PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument();
ByteArrayOutputStream PDFoutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

doc.generate( XMLinput, PDFoutput );

response.setContentType("application/pdf");
// MSIE requires the content length
response.setContentLength(PDFoutput.size());
PDFoutput.writeTo(out);
out.flush();
}
}

Hi

The Big Faceless Report Generator is a Java component for converting
XML to PDF documents. Using JSP, ASP or similar technology, you can
now create dynamic PDF reports as quickly and easily as HTML.

Built on our popular Java PDF library, the Report Writer adds
functionality including:

- HTML-style Tables - auto-sized nested tables with full control over
padding, margins and borders
- Use cascading CSS2 stylesheets to control look and feel
- Create inline graphs and charts with XML, direct from the database
Includes a servlet and a servlet filter for simple generation of PDF's
from XML or JSP pages.
- Auto pagination of content with page headers and footers
-Familiar HTML syntax - <a>, <ul>, <p>, <table>, <td> and so on -
simpler and faster than FOP
-All the features of our PDF library - Unicode support, Encryption,
TrueType fonts, Barcodes and more

You can download a fully functional free demo from our site at
http://big.faceless.org/products/download.jsp, containing a user guide
and examples and we'll be happy to provide you with product support
during your evaluation.

Best Regards

Matt Dean
