Search for "Dynamically loading image" for good examples of how to do this.
Basically, you do not put the image data directly into HTML. Instead, you
make your page.html with some table perhaps, and a series of links to your
images. So you would need one method to list the ids of your images to put
as a parameters into your links. Then, you will 'mount' the resource in
your application class at app init time, which will allow your app to serve
up the image data for each tag.
Good luck
