Answer 1

If you use a URL to load an image, you don't need any libraries at all. And you don't need a servlet to deliver them. Just add images to your /war/images folder. Then, in your GWT code:

Image image = new Image();
image.setUrl("images/myImage.svg");
myPanel.add(image);

You may want to add some logic for browsers that do not support svg files.
