OGC mapplet integration

[Tom Kralidis]

Hi,

I'd like to use mapplet.java to set a background image representing an 
OGC-style requested image.

Additions to HTML:

<PARAM NAME="OGC_Layer" VALUE="whatever">

..this value (coordinates, layers) will be built during the CGI rendering of 
the application.

..then, in the applet, pick up the OGC image as per the MapServer returned 
image, and set it as the background:

s = getParameter("OGC_Layer");
try {
  OGCurl = new URL(s);
} catch(MalformedURLException e) {
    window.eval("mapplet_error('Applet error. Malformed OGC image URL.');");
    this.stop();
}
OGCimg = getImage(OGCurl);

..I'm not a Java person; can anyone suggest where and how to implement the 
setBackground(OGCimg) function in the applet?

Thanks

..Tom
