You can use a JRExporter to export the filled report to different streams and formats.

JRExporter exporter = null;

exporter = new JRPdfExporter();
exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint);
exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.OUTPUT_STREAM, outputStream);
exporter.exportReport();

Also note that there are other exporters:

exporter = new JRRtfExporter();
exporter = new JRHtmlExporter();

You can find more exporters available here: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/api/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/JRExporter.html

They should all accept an OUTPUT_STREAM parameter to control the destination of the report.
