  }

  public byte[] getMyImageInBytes() { .... }

  public String getMyContentType() { ... }
  public String getMyContentDisposition() { ... }
  public int getMyContentLength() { .... }
  public int getMyBufferSize() { ... }

}

Provide a Custom Result Type

struts.xml

<struts>

    ...
    <result-types>
        <result-type name="myBytesResult" class="MyBytesResult" />
    </result-types>
    ...
    <action name="myAction" class="MyAction">
        <result name="myImageResult" type="myBytesResult">
            <param name="contentType">${myContentType}</param>
            <param name="contentDisposition">${myContentDisposition}</param>
            <param name="contentLength">${myContentLength}</param>
            <param name="bufferSize">${myBufferSize}</param>
        <result>
    </action>
    ...

</struts>

MyBytesResult.java

public class MyBytesResult implements Result {

	public void execute(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception {

		MyAction action = (MyAction) invocation.getAction();
		HttpServletResponse response = ServletActionContext.getResponse();

                response.setContentType(action.getContentType());
		response.setContentLength(action.getContentLength());

		response.getOutputStream().write(action.getImageInBytes());
		response.getOutputStream().flush();
