Hi,
There are a number of ways to do this, in the free camp there are tools such as Japser Reports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/, however this would require your JSP to output XML which would be used by Jasper to generate the PDF, or you could use Jasper to generate HTML and PDF reports.
In the pay for camp, many app servers have Crystal reports plugins to generate reports in a variety of formats.
Further, most modern reporting tools such as Crystal and Oracle reports generate reports in at least PDF and HTML and have Java APIs.
Regards,
Oliver
