Most event interfaces would call a method on the client (client and 
server concepts blur easily ;-) ). Can't you simply create an object in 
the client, pass it to the server and call a method from the server once 
an image is available (I did this many times).

Problem: If the client is busy the server will wait (perhaps oneway will 
help here?)
