Showing JSP output in XSL

[Joseph Bashir]

Hi

The below JSP code produces an image from text. I want to take this output to an XSL file. Please guide me how to do it?

<%
String text = "Test string";
String font_file = "/MTCORSVA.TTF";
 
float size = 20.0f;
Color color = Color.black;
 

Font font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new FileInputStream(font_file));
font = font.deriveFont(size);
 
BufferedImage buffer =
    new BufferedImage(1,1,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2 = buffer.createGraphics();
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                    RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
FontRenderContext fc = g2.getFontRenderContext();
Rectangle2D bounds = font.getStringBounds(text,fc);
 
// calculate the size of the text
int width = (int) bounds.getWidth();
int height = (int) bounds.getHeight();
 
// prepare some output
buffer = new BufferedImage(width, height,
                           BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
g2 = buffer.createGraphics();
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                    RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.setFont(font);
 
g2.fillRect(0,0,width,height);
g2.setColor(color);
g2.drawString(text,0,(int)-bounds.getY());
 
// set the content type and get the output stream
response.setContentType("image/png");
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
 
// output the image as png
ImageIO.write(buffer, "png", os);
os.close();
%>

I want to take this output to an XSL file.

XSL files are always XML formatted text thus cannot contain a binary image. Where is that image supposed to wind up finally?
