Another option is to use Flying Saucer [1] to render the html in pure java. I use it with iText [2] to create pdf's from any xhtml page. This is a nice combination as it basically allows you to template your pdf's with tapestry pages. So from within a Tapestry page you retreive any html with the use of an URLConnection (in my case another page in my own app) and return it in the form of an pdf.
I'm sure there are ways to render to images in Flying Saucer as well.
