[OpenLayers-Users] How to get information on clicking on a polygon

[kusum]

this feature also uses points for a polygon and the problem is I have 
geometry of polygon and not the x y cordinates.
Please suggest any function if there in postgres  to convert the goemetry 
field to cordinates or any other method in openlayers if exists to highlight 
polygon using  goemetry.
