[Geoserver-devel] Noob Q - capturing coordinates on mouse-click etc...

[jkb <bud...@ya...>]

Hi,

I want to develop a web application with Geoserver, and being new to  
the program I was hoping some of you could point me in the right  
direction to start off from. What I would like to do is:

- develop Geoserver in Eclipse w/ Tomcat (OS X 10.5)

- capture a point on mouse click and pass the coordinates to java  
classes already in place

- render new features / update displayed features on the basis of  
actions performed in said classes (which already successfully query a  
PostGIS layer)

Assuming I can get the Eclipse / Tomcat setup working*, are there any  
code samples / online resources available (or just plain old advice!)  
to help me start off on these last two points?

Any assistance gratefully received,

Jim

*I've seen some of the docs on the website referring to setting up an  
Eclipse / tomcat install on OS X but I gather I'll have to tinker with  
this somewhat unless there are more detailed instructions I'm unaware  
of...
