You are already answering it

The receiving servlet, lets call it ReportingTestServlet, this servlet will receive the attributes from the front end.

Create a utility class lets call it ReportGenerator, I prefer to use utility classes to make things more maintainable if you want to add more reports to the servlet later. This class will look something like this Fixed Column Width Test, this is a sample from DJ. Mainly the class will take the parameters and return a DynamicReport object.

Finally you will write something like DjReportTest that takes the DynamicReport and using JasperReport API create a JasperPrint object, this object could be easily exported to PDF/HTML/RTF from the JasperReport API

Hope that helps
