Realtime graph using JFreeChart and displaying in JSP

Question

I'm trying to plot the system CPU utilization in a JSP page.

I'm using JFreeChart library to do so, I have a problem,

The generation of the graph I've written in a Servlet and that generates an image, so on the JSP page it flickers and reloads the image.

Is there a better way to implement it as I want to see a continuous flowing graph and not an image?

NOTE: I'm using ajax call to the servlet.

like your style of answering. Applet, out of the question, Flash, not sure since the product would be running on Mac-Safari. Shall look @ the JS.

Another alternative is a Java Web Start application that queries the servlet for updates.

Are you opposed to delivering the chart as an applet, say as outlined here?
