It depends. One way I have done it is to have the generator servlet save it on the session, and have the page the generator servlet writes make a request to a simple servlet that returns the graphic, and then deletes it from the session.
Another way would be to write it to the temp dir. From the Servlet API Spec: SRV.3.7.1 Temporary Working Directories A temporary storage directory is required for each servlet context. Servlet containers must provide a private temporary directory per servlet context, and make it available via the javax.servlet.context.tempdir context attribute. The objects associated with the attribute must be of type java.io.File. Then, using a servlet mapping request the generated image and have the servlet retrieve the temporary image. I guess that you could make another dir writable to the server, and store the image in their natively. George Sexton MH Software, Inc.

It expects to find the gif file in the context of the web application. The web app is deployed as a war so obviously the generated files cant be put there. Any suggestions as to where these files could be copied that would be accesible by the browser.
