Have a look at the classes CommandLineStarter or FopServlet for complete examples.

+If FOP is going to be used multiple times within your application +it may be useful to reuse certain objects to save time. +

+The renderers and the driver can both be reused. A renderer is reusable +once the previous render has been completed.

In the directory xml-fop/docs/examples/embedding you can find a working example how to use Fop in a servlet.
