Thanks for the suggestion Stanton. Bruno, I was testing my code on the basis of the example you gave. I have actually written a servlet of my own which tries to achieve the task. The XML provided is saved at a specified location on my disk. But on running the code, after it creates the basic template, it gives an error on reading the XML file saying that too many files are open and java io exception on the line writer.setPageEvent(new SimpleLetter()) the file path is all correct since it successfully creates a template in the specified directory.
