Java VNC Applet
Solution 1
A signed Java applet (or application) can use the Robot class to get screenshots of the current window and use this for remote control. It will never be very efficient, but it can be done.
Solution 2
The accepted answer is wrong — it is perfectly possible to build a VNC server in Java. Yes, Java is sandboxed, but this doesn't mean it cannot access screen contents if you want it to!
Solution 3
Unfortunately Tight VNC only offers an applet based client, and not server, and GSVNCJ is closed source.

Does any one know of an opensource Java VNC server, that can be run from a web page, so requiring no installation on the server end, possibley applet based.
