I have thought of a way of doing this which only involves a couple of
internal classes.
1. Create a new event response type (lets call is FopPdf)
public class FopPdf {
private RenderCommand fopRenderCommand;
private String fileName;
}
2. Create a FopPdfComponentEventResultProces
I actually added an event handler to my page (could easily be a mixin) that
returns the page as a pdf. I did somewhat cheat but it does work nicely. I use
a HttpClient to request the same page again (with the sessionid so all session
state is correct). From there on you have the exact xhtml you
Funny you should mention this, I actually had a quick try at doing this
myself but I got a bit stuck... here's what I learned.

Yes, someone already did write a servlet filter which feeds all the
underlying servlets/filters into FOP and sends a PDF back to the
browser.
All I need to write is a page with FOP tags on it.

To feed the offtopic-gods:
Anyone ever tried to use a tapestry page with a special fop-template,
which then is fed into FOP?
I guess it would be a nice thing if I were able to capture the page's
output and pipe it into FOP or something. Don't know how, but that
would be cool.

I do admit XSLT is an acquired taste.

I like FreeMarker too. The best standalone templating engine I've used.
Way better than Velocity.

I urge anyone considering using XSLT to STOP and take a look at freemarker.
Freemarker has excellent support for XML inputs

You can push java objects into the freemarker context including config and
helper classes.
I've been using FOP http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ for a number of years.
If you like XSLT (or want to learn it) try it out. FOP gives you precise
control over the output. I usually combine it with JAXB to convert Java
objects to XML then use XSLT to create the PDF.

Thiago is right. Of course iText is must have. But...
In real world you will need something to prepare pdf report.
I use xslt transformed to xhtml (plain xml infrastructure from JRE). That
xhtml is converted to pdf with Flying sourcer
