Zabid,
Marty Hall's Chapter 7 describes how to solve half of your problem
(generating a gif with user specified text). The other half of can be done
using the getImage(String fileName) or getImage(URL) methods of
java.awt.Toolkit. You'll need to use
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(...);
to first get the GIF image into an Image object, and then use the JDK1.1
drawXXX or fillXXX methods or JDK1.2 Graphics2D methods to draw text on top.
and then output it in a servlet response.

Hey Zabid -
I believe that this has already been done. Check out Core Servlets and
JavaServer Pages by Marty Hall. You could also go to the web site.

There are some examples under chapter 7 that might help you
Later,
