I believe, java.awt.Robot class is for use in Desktop environmen, to automate manual tasks. If you use it in your web-application, this will interfere with the desktop screen of the server(s) (where your application is deployed) thereby becoming a menace.

I should hope not, as that would be a severe violation of privacy.

Servlet code runs on, well, the server. Not on the client.

I believe, there is one complex possibility.

Write and deploy "Signed Applet", that uses java.awt.image.PixelGrabber and other classes of this package to capture the client screen and update it as a BLOB into a DB in the Server.

However, you may need to somehow get the screen image and this can be accomplished only through the java.awt.Robot class!
