Is there any way to run XSLT and generate PDF online using Apache fop?

I want to generate PDF online like xslt tranformation

INPUT XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<students>
    <student>
        <name>Amrendra Kumar</name>
        <class>BCA</class>
    </student>
    <student>
        <name>Sanjeev Kumar</name>
        <class>MCA</class>
    </student>
</students>

XSLT to generate PDF:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
    exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
    version="2.0">

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
            <fo:layout-master-set>

                </fo:simple-page-master>
            </fo:layout-master-set>
            <fo:page-sequence master-reference="a">

Yes, we can generate the pdf from XML and XSL file using apache fop.

public void convertXmlToPdf(String xmlFilePath, String xslFilePath, String pdfFileDirectory) throws IOException {

        File xmlfile = new File(xmlFilePath);
        File xsltfile = new File(xslFilePath);
        File pdfDir = new File(pdfFileDirectory);
        pdfDir.mkdirs();
        File pdfFile = new File(pdfDir, "pdfFile.pdf");

        System.out.println(pdfFile.getAbsolutePath());

        final FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(new File(".").toURI());
        FOUserAgent foUserAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();

        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(pdfFile);
        out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out);

        try{
            Fop fop;
            fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, out);

            TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsltfile));

            Source src = new StreamSource(xmlfile);

            Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());

            transformer.transform(src, res);

        }catch (FOPException | TransformerException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }finally {
            out.close();
        }

        System.out.println("PDF generated successfully");

    }
