Okay, I see what you mean. I had that exact same requirement recently.
I believe it was discussed on here as well. Right now I'm using a
Spring controller to serve up files dynamically. I'm probably going to
have to make a photo proxy too (as you mention), and it would be very
nice if I could stay in Wicket to do it. I'm definatly +1 on this.

And no, Axis is NOT the way to go for this kind of thing. I didn't
really understand your requirements there.
