First get some experience in running FOP by running some of the examples from the distribution from the command line. Check the documentation in the distribution for how to do this.
If you got around this, start developing you own FO file to gain some more experience. Question related to FO design can be asked on the XSL list (http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list) or, if they are FOP specific, on the FOP-user list. After you have some working FO, design your input XML for the variable date and start to generate them using XSLT. Question related to XSLT design can be asked on the XSL list exclusively. For questions about XML design check out the FAQs, tutorials and lists listed on http://www.xml.org first. Check the documentation for how to run FOP using an XSL transformation. If you got some working XSLT code you can run it from the command line, start to embed FOP into your application. There is a file "embedding.html" delivered with FOP with some hints. Look also into the FOP servlet example in docs/examples/embedding. You don't run any MAIN method. There are also recurring issues you can find in the archives of the FOP lists http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-user&r=1&w=2# http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&r=1&w=2# For deploying FOP, you need all the jar files from the lib directory as well as fop.jar itself. If you want to deploy them as part of a WebSphere application, there are some pitfalls. I think they have been written about on the list, check the archives mentioned above.
