Hi I try to create a web reporting system using Java and XML. Now I can generate XML code that I need and save it as a String in my java code (i don't want to write it as file on hard disk), and I allow users to create XSL templates (assuming they are experts on XSL syntax) that are saved on hard disk. The question I have is how to create the final HTML file based on XML & XSL I have? I know it works if I manually copy the XML value (a java String variable) and saves it on hard disk with filename "report.xml", and put "report.xsl" under the same directory, and then open IE and type in the URL.

How are you "generating" the XML? You should be using an XML DOM to do that like Xalan and Xerces from Apache that theKobbler cites.
You also use the DOM to perform the transformation you desire. Look at the packages javax.xml.transform for the transformation support. Using the classes in that package you will be able to produce the exact process you delineated in your post.
