You can't, period.
You can NOT mix data containing different mime types in a http stream, it just won't work.

What you can do is create a servlet that creates the chart as an image and put an img tag in the jsp that then calls that servlet to generate the image.

JFreeChart can do that very nicely (in fact I'm maintaining an application that does just that

You can do VERY PRIMITIVE bar charts with straight HTML ... Use an image per bar, 1x1 pixel images of various colors. Specify the image size to make bars.
