When you use something like <img src="myimage.gif"> in your generated page,
the image is requested by the brower in a separate HTTP request from the one
that requested this page. If your image is static, you could just set the URL
of the image to point at a web server to get it, or (if your servlet engine
serves files as well) just let the servlet engine serve it. On the other
hand, if you need to dynamically create the image (say, you were graphing some
data that was dynamically selected from a database) you might want to have a
servlet create it. The key is whatever the image URL points at.
