This is discussed (somewhat) in a WebReview article I did a while back. We
also covered it in Java Servlet Programming.
http://www.webreview.com/wr/pub/97/11/14/webdev/index.html
Essentially, you need to create an AWT context before using AWT calls. In a
servlet you need to do this explicitly, while in an Applet or Application
the context is pre-existing. That's why most of the sample code you see in
books won't run when dropped into a servlet.
I haven't done this in a while, but if you create a new java.awt.Frame
object, call addNotify(), you should then be able to call
getToolkit().getImage("my.gif") on the Frame without any problems.
