Hi Raj,
If your images are regenerated for each request you should look into
GifServlet at
http://www.metawerx.com.au/aaron.porter
Using GifServlet the images will never be stored as files so you don't have
to clean up later. Your servlet generating the HTML page simply includes a
reference to your class derived from GifServlet instead of the file you are
generating. You won't have to worry about synchronization issues so your
HTML servlet can return immediately, allowing the browser to start rendering
the page before the image is created.
Just my 2 cents.
