It is never a good idea to try to output binary data from a JSP page. They 
were not intended for that. If you are trying to output just a chart image, 
and no html, maybe you need a different struts view (not sure how that is 
done, not a struts person). If you want to display the image of a graph on a 
jsp page, you should probably save the image to a file location, and then 
display the graph as an image normally would be done in html.
