You would do the same thing the DTEDSpecialist server is doing. If
you look at the DTEDSpecialist.fillRectangle(...) method, you'll see
an OMGraphicList get created from a call to cache_manager.getRectangle
(...). That's a list of OMRasters. For CORBA transfer, the OMRasters
are transformed to CORBA objects before heading to the client. For
an RMI Server, you'd probably do the same thing you are doing with
your RPF server.

Sure, but you'd have to make sure the projection in the overview
MapBean is CADRG. There's a property for that.

It probably wouldn't be hard to add more information to the
LayerStatusEvent to handle that kind of information, but as of right
now, there are no plans to do so. I think we'd have to work out how
you show that for different layers at the same time.

You could also have different MapBeans on each tab, and add the
layers you want to the active tab's MapBean. You might be able to
have a tabbed pane with tabs and nothing in their tabs above a singe
MapBean, and just change the map based on which tab is chosen. You
have a lot of options, depending on the look you want. The only
restriction you have is that a Swing component can only have one parent.
Hope this helps,
Don
