Answer 1

Since you have tagged this with Java, I am assuming you are using a Java based client server model. What is the communication model between the client and the server here? RMI? Some proprietary protocol? Or is it a Java applet based app running in the browser?

Update based on clarification : In that case you can you can always collect the system properties inside the applet code and send them back to the server (maybe by using a servlet?)
