[OpenLayers-Users] Openlayers.map with no div. Javascript on server side

[Andreas Heckwolf]

Hello Alex,

I have no idea where your data is but naturally I would use a
geo-spatial database to do this. With one SQL-query you can find out if
your point is inside or ouside of a polygon. For example you could use
PostgreSQL and PostGis with JDBC in our servlet.

Cheers,
Andreas
