Sure, go ahead. But just to be clear, this code probably won't work "as is".
That's just the basics I put together based on an implementation I had made
so there might be some details that may need filling in or fixing.
For instance, below is an e-mail I sent Calvin answering some questions
about this implementation. I did a reply-to-all but I don't think it made it
to this list. Anyway, here it is.

That's my mistake. You can cast "parameters" into an Object array and use
that.

That's because you're actually calling WebResponse.getOutputStream... you
need to get an instance of webResponse, you can do that with:
WebResponse webResponse = cycle.getInfrastructure().getResponse();
As I said, I sent you the basic structure... you might have to fill in some
things to get it 100% working.

This code goes on you page/component class. Whatever page or component in
which you wish to display the image.
