Hi Vitaly,
I'd think you want to do something similar to the pan requests that
the MapRequestHandler deals with, extending the protocol to handle
some kind of selection event. It looks like there is an
unimplemented QUERY request type in ImageServerConstants that the
MapRequestHandler.handleRequest(...) method doesn't deal with. You
might be able to take advantage of that. You can get your image map
in the browser to handle clicks on the map in different ways by
sending requests back to the server. I think in the old .NET demo
they were sent as RECENTER requests, but you would send them as say,
a QUERY request - then, in your special MapRequestHandler that deals
with QUERY requests and interacting with a particular layer (the
MapRequestHandler would keep a special handle on layers dealing with
queries), the appropriate response would be sent.
Hope this helps,
Don
