Implemented AtlasBlock, which implements IRenderable and defers all the heavy stuff until render() is called. AtlasBlock calls on AtlasRenderer for the main work, and rendering seems acceptably fast. Will look to tune it before release.
Got AtlasBlock to render into a form and added code to handle form submission on entry_at.
Now you can click on the map - the system will recognize the nearest location and show you the appropriate entry. Swweet. The book itself needs content to make more of the entries, but it's looking promising.
entry_at.jsp is accessing AtlasDAO directly for the reverse lookup - we'll want to integrate that with the standard QueryTool for pooling.
Tomorrow to add the atlas scroll buttons.
