RE: [OpenMap Users] servlet example

Generating the map via servlet is relatively simple, making it clickable is
a little bit more difficult. The approach we took was to create a servlet
for generating the map, then we created a servlet that would convert X/Y
coordinates into Lat/Lon based on that map's settings. We used the
Projection.inverse method to convert the X/Y to Lat/Lon. Then you can use
the servlet map image as an input field in your HTML to send the X/Y via
click. We then redirect to another page that uses the X/Y for our puposes
(lookup in a database).

Subject: [OpenMap Users] servlet example

I am just getting started with openmap. My needs are actually pretty
simple compared to the relative enormity of openmap. I was just
wondering of anyone out there had some sample code they wouldn't mind
sharing that generated a clickable map via a servlet. Anything even
remotely close to this would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
