I'll try to help as much as I can here.

Make sure that you know the difference between setDeviceBounds and 
setBounds.  setDeviceBounds is typically called with arguments 
(0,0,width,height), with width and height set to the pixel size of your 
output image.  More info on pages 125 and 129 in the handbook.

Again, adjust these numbers so that they translate to actual screen 
coordinates which are not negative.

Also, do a setDistanceUnits call and a setZoom call before you do the 
setCenter call.  This is an undocumented bug that I just recently found out 
about.

Okay, a few notes on the render block above

make a ServletOutputStream and assign res.getOutputStream() to it.

do the call to renderer.toStream() with the ServletOutputStream object you 
just created.

After you dispose of the renderer, close the servletoutputstream inside of 
its own try block.

Hopefully you can get it working.
