YOu cannot get them from the Java servlet (Java servlet code not used to read dialog fields) - they are read using JS as described in the article.
However - if you are using HTL - then a class that extends WCMUSePojo can read dialog fields. See:

For example:
currentNode.getProperty("./jcr:tocity").getString();
Hope this helps.
