[OpenLayers-Users] Clustering lots feautures and making them selectable with a box

[Florian Diederichs]

Hi list,

i might be on the wrong board, so sorry in advance...

I made an OL-application that draws vector features as clusters and makes
them selectable via drawing a box. I modified the cluster strategy, so that
the attributes of the features get copied to the clusters in a way that lets
me extract them properly from the cluster.
Basically the clusters represent people, and selecting multiple clusters
extracts the mobile-numbers of all the selected people. Works great with
100-500 people. Now you probably know what i'm going for:

I know that the way i did it is wrong if you want to work with a lot of
features. Which is what i want. So i'm probably stuck with WMS. Thats why i
might be on the wrong board. But anyway:

Does anybody have a hint how the behavior i described above can be achieved
using a WMS-Layer? Or by using anything else that doesn't kill browsers?
Meaning that the user is able to select features in a box, and that features
can be clustered.

Thanks
Florian
