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.

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.
