To output binary data in Java (such as an image), you will need to use write()
calls rather than print() calls on the servlet output stream. You don't even
need a byte array to do what you're trying. A simple approach is this:
response.setContentType("image/gif"); // Or whatever is right
BufferedInputStream input = ... input stream to your data ...
ServletOutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
while (true) {
int data = input.read();
if (data < 0)
break;
output.write(data);
}
output.flush();
