maybe u can try this:

<script>

var imageRequest = new AW.HTTP.Request;

imageRequest.setUrl('/servletImage/getImage');

imageRequest.setAsync(true);

imageRequest.response = function(xml) {

     // get the src of new image generated

     // like: /images/image_0048448464849849.gif

     var resolver = xml.createNSResolver( xml.ownerDocument == null ? xml.documentElement : xml.ownerDocument.documentElement));

      var value = xml.evaluate('//root//imageSRC', xml, resolver, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).stringValue;

    /*

      example XML

        <root>

           <imageSRC>images/image_0048448464849849.gif</imageSRC>

        </root>

    */

     // create new image

     var im = new Image();

     im.src = value;

     // set new image

     document.getElementById('myImage').src = im.src;

     // done

}

imageRequest.request();

</script>

<body>

<img src='/images/blank.jpg' id='myImage' name='myImage'>

</body>

U can't return the bytes in browsser, because u need SRC for image, u can't do nothing with bytes.
cya.

or maybe u can write in response setting the content type, like:

response.setContentType("image/gif");

response.getPrinter().write(IMAGE_BYTES);

response.flush();

And set the IMG SRC to servlet, to refresh u can re-set the src like:
document.getElementById("image").src = document.getElementById("image").src+"?"+new Date().getTime();
hope this help.
