[geotk] Rendering a map image in the background

[Westgård Trond]

I want the user to be able to make reports from a postgis database into a pdf document. The document will contain text, tables and maps.
To do this I want to use a JasperReport template and fill this, but first I have to make a map "invisible" to the user.

In the code below I am able to get data from a shapefile into a MapLayer, but when I ask the map to be painted it stops with a NullPointerException.

Is there anyone that may give me some hints on what I am doing wrong?

Regards

Trond
