xslfo in a jsp is it possible?
im not sure what i am doing but i want to create a pdf document using apache's FOP. I have added the required jars to the web-inf directory in tomcat, but do you know where i write the xslfo is it in the jsp itself ? ive found examples of how to write xsl-fo but i dont know what file to put them in to test it.
My main interface are jsp files so if i could place them in there would be great i just dont know how?
a xsl-fo example script i found...

[nobr]Assuming you have installed and configured your environment for
JSTL 1.1
You could use the
<x:transform tag , to transform an XML file with any XSLT file.
In order to use ><x:transform you'll first need to import the XML and XSLT file using ><c:import
JSTL uses Xalan which currently supports only XSLT 1.0 , if you are using XSLT 2.0 .
I tried transforming a sample XML with XSL-FO inside a JSP, but the output is only being printed on the JSP. I wasn't able to generate a PDF file from it.
If the intention is to print something to JSP then I would use plain-old XSLT instead of XSL-FO
Here's the code I tried:
><%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml" %>
