I want to give a button in my JSP page, which on click of it should store an image in the filesystem.

Following is the code ScreenCapture.java which is a servlet.
Purpose: To capture the screen of working area and store it in file system.
Problem: - An image file is stored in file system with blank image.

Please help me to fix what is wrong

If you observe captureScreen method is working well if you execute separately as a java file (non-servlet)
only with servlet this is not working.
