Hi Stephane,
If you were going to make the call a lot, I'd make your Layer a
LayerListener and add it to the LayerHandler as such, so it's always
told of the latest layers being added to the MapBean.
If this is a more intermittent operation and you don't want your
layer in the LayerEvent notification loop, you could call:
MapHandler mh = (MapHandler) getBeanContext();
LayerHandler lh = (LayerHandler) mh.get
(com.bbn.openmap.LayerHandler.class);
Layer[] layers = lh.getCurrentLayers();
And get the active layer stack directly from the source.
