Using Java with mapserver

I have a need to build a lightweight java applet that will permit 
pan and zoom into a certain extent, then allow the user to drag a 
rectangle (yes, java can do this!) to set an area of interest. The 
result of all of this is a bit anticlimactic: I only need the 
transformed coordinates of the rectangle fed to a containing HTML 
as shared variables. I have a program that uses LiveConnect to pass 
the java variables to the hosting form. But I was wondering if 
someone else has some java stubs for making draw, pan, and zoom 
requests of a mode=map service...
