Look up locking a computer from the command line (that will differ depending on the OS) and making system calls from java.

EDIT: this site aperently has sample code for running system calls in java:

I haven't tested this, and don't know if this is the proper way to handle it, but it should be a good starting point.

There may be another library that has this functionality already build in, but i dunno if it exists or where you would find it (HINT, start with google).

The system call wouldn't be hard to code at all. If you are having problems with it, if you let what OS you are using, i could create a simple function that could do it for you... but again, this shouldn't be very hard to do, i recommend spending 15 minutes figuring this out.

Let me know if you need anything else.
