FOP is good, but it transforms from XML-FO to PDF (and lots of other
target formats).
If you want to tranform html to pdf you need a 3 stage process:
first you write XHTML with CSS using what ever you have/know/like.
Then you transform it to XML-FO using CSS2XSLFO
(www.re.be/css2xslfo/index.xhtml)
Then you transform this to PDF using FOP (or others front-ends)

Please be warned that this combination is very flexible but has very
odd limitations.
For reporting uses, you may want also to look jasper reports and BIRT
that also exports to PDF.

Yes it is.

Look at the REST plugin but then you'll need some more processing.

Jeromy Evans (who was/is a Struts commiter) posted an example a while ago.

Look at this thread here
http://www.mail-archive.com/issues@(protected)

The example is supposed to be at: http://www.blueskyminds.com.au/url-hierarchy/
but the link is broken at the moment.

I've used the code as an example and it all seems to work.

Ping me if you can't get the code and I can send it to you (it's
licensed under the Apache license so it's OK to share),

There is a cached copy of the site here

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.blueskyminds.com.au/url-hierarchy/
(you'll need to follow cached copies of the other links as well)

I've sent Jeromy Evans an email asking if it's OK to post his code.
If/when he replies I'll put it somewhere where it can be downloaded,

I've heard back from Jeromy Evans. He's happy for me to post the code.
Unfortunately it may not be until the weekend as I'm on the road at
the moment,

defaultStack [1] already has validation interceptor defined, you
shouldn't duplicate it.
The best way is to create your own stack and play with interceptors -
not to refer to other stack.

Is there a way of specifying the start directory to be used when the user
hits the "browse" button? As far as I can see, the system "remembers" where
it was looking last time, but this seems to be when the "file selector" was
last used, regardless of which particular instance was used. (i.e if I have
5 file uploads, all needing to start in a different location, each of them
shares the "last directory used" - or appears to)

Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The first one is pretty clear :
No result defined for action com.inrev.bm.action.IRCampaignMgmtAction and
result input

You have to check your struts.xml file (or other xml configuration
files for Struts), in the declaration of the action
IRCampaignMgmtAction and add a result with the name "input".
