The tech tip below shows how to dynamically create an image within a servlet and send it to the output stream.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt0821_update.html In most cases developers want to send both HTML text and images when dynamically creating a web page. How can this be done? "The Servlet specification requires that servlets not call both ServletResponse.getOutputStream() and ServletResponse.getWriter(). " So, the only way I can think of doing this (images and HTML) is to transform the HTML text into a byte array and use the method write(byte[] b) from the class OutputStream. Can anyone think of a more elegant way to do this? Also, "Because JSP pages already call getWriter(), they must not also call getOutputStream()." I think this means that it is impossible to dynamically create images from a JSP (which was the point of the tech tip above). Can anyone think of a way to dynamically generate images within a JSP?
