It sounds that you need to do the following :
1) Load your image and do whatever manipulation you would do normally,
this gives you some kind of object representing the image data yes?
2) Set the response content type to something appropriate to the image
format you want to use
3) Get the writer for the http response
4) Get a reader from your image object, through some kind of encoder
format (jpeg, gif etc)
5) Read from the reader, writing to the writer and you should be
returning an image to the client.
Hope that helps,
Tom
