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.

Answer 2

I found a solution that works without any external library (like Andrei's Solution) but keeps also the embedded scripts working. I used the info from here - i used a HTMLPanel and loaded the image via "RequestBuilder":

    String url = GWT.getHostPageBaseURL() + link.getToken();
    RequestBuilder rB = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.GET, url);
    rB.setCallback(new RequestCallback() {

        @Override
        public void onResponseReceived(Request request, Response response) {
            //create Widget
            chartImage = new HTMLPanel(response.getText());
            //add to layout   
            layout.add(chartImage);

        }

        @Override
        public void onError(Request request, Throwable exception) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    });
