DisplayMode is part of the java.awt package, not the servlet/JSP packages.
You can find out the screen size through JavaScript. I don't believe the
browser sends the dimensions of itself to the server which is the only way
you could do something like this.
What you could do is in the user's login screen for the session, have
JavaScript discover the monitor sizing, then submit to the server to save
for any additional screens. You can also use JavaScript to output HTML. I
use this rarely due to the difficulty in maintaining multiple HTML renderers
(JS and JSP then.)

Subject: Getting screen height and width

method,
