I have an idea involving Java that Im trying to determine the

a jpeg image of this and then upload it using a form post request, or
prompt the user to save it to disk.

All this is possible. What is the purpose of it?

I don't know. I've encountered and dealt with parts of this,
applets, signed applets, and creating screenshots using
the robot, but not posting the completed image back to
the server.

Posting the completed image back to the server is not at all hard; you need
to create an HTTP post request with a content-type of multipart/form-data;
see RFC1867. Compared to all the problems with signed applets I'd see this
as the easy bit.
