It does not matter that the client and server are running on the same machine.
If you think carefully about the role of servlets, it should be clear why
trying to construct a graphics context from a servlet is an inherently
meaningless operation.
The *client* (if running in a browser) may be able to ask this question,
and relay the answer to the servlet, but even this is not guaranteed.
I would suggest that you pick up a good book on servlets, and do some reading.
