Question

I am doing POC for one of my performance projects , Currently it is giving me Out Of memory Error in the current Scenario , As we have loaded that xml as DOM and then give that XSL and then transform it to PDF ,Here it gives OOMemory Error ,

After one of the comments from this forum only , I have used SAX parser for the xml file and give XSL and then use FOP for this 30 MB , System Memory is 512MB

System.out.println("FOP XMLTOPDFConverter\n");
            System.out.println("Preparing...");

            // Setup directories
/*          File baseDir = new File(".");
            File outDir = new File(baseDir, "out");
            outDir.mkdirs();*/

            // Setup input and output files
            File xmlfile = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/agarwgau/Desktop/300k/File_0000036357.XML");
            File xsltfile = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/agarwgau/Desktop/300k/UCB110037EventList.xsl");
            File pdffile = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/agarwgau/Desktop/300k/ResultXML2PDF.pdf");

            System.out.println("Input: XML (" + xmlfile + ")");
            System.out.println("Stylesheet: " + xsltfile);
            System.out.println("Output: PDF (" + pdffile + ")");
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println("Transforming...");

            // configure fopFactory as desired
            FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();

            FOUserAgent foUserAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
            // configure foUserAgent as desired

            // Setup output
            OutputStream out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdffile);
            out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out);

            try {
                // Construct fop with desired output format
                Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF,
                        foUserAgent, out);

                // Setup XSLT
                TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                Transformer transformer = factory
                        .newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsltfile));

                // Set the value of a <param> in the stylesheet
                transformer.setParameter("versionParam", "2.0");

                // Setup input for XSLT transformation
                Source src = new StreamSource(xmlfile);

                // Resulting SAX events (the generated FO) must be piped through
                // to FOP
                Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());

                // Start XSLT transformation and FOP processing
                transformer.transform(src, res);
            } finally {
                out.close();
            }

            System.out.println("Success!");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(-1);
        }

    }

It sounds like Apache FOP should be able to help you.
