jdk 1.2 includes java 2d which has classes for manipulating jpegs. it should
be a trivial task to generate a java.awt.Graphics2D object on the fly, do
your own hacks to it and output the results as a jpeg via a stream utilizing
com.sun.image.code.jpeg.JPEGCodec. just remmember to set the content-type to
image/jpeg or whatever it is supposed to be. i wrote a hello world thingy a
while ago which worked fine.
