You don't use it, you look at how it works.

You'll want to specialize your getImage method to use ComposedImage.

Much like we want to add multiplicity decorations to a basic image...

 protected Object overlayImage(Object object, Object image)
	  {
	  
	      List<Object> images = new ArrayList<Object>(2);
	      images.add(image);
	      images.add(getResourceLocator().getImage("full/obj16/requiredImagetoBeAddedOnOriginal"));
	      image = new ComposedImage(images);
	    
	    return image;
	  }

That method is intended to adding the "controlled object" overlay so
reusing it for something else will disable it for that purpose. As you
can see, that method too simply uses ComposedImage so you could add your
own utility method just like that...
