Remove Java Loader in jsp page

I have a jsp page like this. This file uses 3 jars and the output is viewed in a jsp page. Before the output is displayed I am getting the java loader (gif image). I want to remove that image. How can I add my own image to the below code?

<jsp: plugin type="applet" codebase="." code="ViewerApplet.class" align="center" width="100%" height="600" jreversion="1.6" archive="icepdf-core.jar, icepdf-viewer.jar, icepdf-applet.jar">
<jsp: params><br>
<jsp: param name="java_arguments" value="-Xmx128m" /><br/>
<jsp: param name="classloader_cache" value="true" /><br/>
<jsp: param name="url" value="<%=test%>" />

</jsp: params>

<jsp:fallback>
<p>Unable to load applet</p>
</jsp:fallback>
</jsp: plugin>

Thanks -
Haan
(PS: Attached the java loader - i want to remove this image )
