You don't embed an image in a servlet. You can do two things.
- Put an img tag into the html that is sent to the client. The client
requests the image from the web server using HTTP.
- Put an href into the html that makes a servlet request. The href
includes the image url or filename so that the servlet knows where to
find the image. The servlet reads the bytes from the url or file, and
streams the bytes back to the client using an output stream obtained
from the response object.
