Hi
A few ideas...
You could design an image map (HTML) with all symbols on it, where the image
pixel coordinates would correspond to the symbols definition. Just show it
to the user.
Also, you could use a single layer in a geoset (mapdefinition or whatever),
containing all symbols you offer to the user. Render a map to a GIF image,
and send it to the applet. When the user clicks on the image the applet
returns the position coordinates to the server. Then using your simple
mapj(one layer) object (single layer on it) on server. Retreive the feature
information (and the rendition !) with the "layer.searchAtPoint(point)"
function.
hope this help
