is in the wwww out there, some example how to chain via a java-servlet maybe in xalan a transformation via xslt from xml to xhtml

You'd need a stylesheet designed for this specific XML vocabulary.

and from xhtml apply another xslt to transform to xsl-fo (for this step exists ready to use stylesheets)and then generate pdf.



Two transformations for one request could be rather expensive. Cocoon[1] is great in doing stuff like that with good performance (by either using SAX transformers or caching XSLT transforms) and reusability of components [2] but it's learning curve could be too much for your needs.


A sample of a servlet based transformer can be found at [3]. You can also use some tag library within JSP for this stuff if it makes you more confortable, take a look at [4].
