I think he wanted to use a javax.activation.DataSource or equalent to be
able to write an image held in memory directly without storing it, but I
could be wrong :)

I haven't tested what you do, but I think you should be able to specify
a full URL with parameters and all in the "src" attribute of
"external-graphic" that will call your servlet to get the image. Or do
you get any error messages?
