The browser can only handle one type of content at the time so you need
to separate the output into two separate requests. For instance, let one
servlet generate HTML with something like this:
<IMG SRC=/servlet/imageGenerator?foo=bar>
and then let your imageGenerator servlet use the parameter value (foo=bar here)
to generate the image dynamically.
