Re: More fun with Servlets :)

Hi Jamie,

You can create a layer, or plugin, that communicates with your servlet.
That's the basis behind the com.bbn.openmap.plugin.shis.SHISPlugIn, and
the com.bbn.openmap.plugin.wms.WMSPlugIn - getting images from web
servers. They inherit from WebImagePlugIn, which provides a little base
for displaying images in the MapBean from an image server. All you have
to implement is creating the query for the server.

If you create a layer/plugin like this for an applet, remember that it
can only contact the server machine that it was originally loaded from.

Hope this helps,

Don
