Making DWF viewer feature selection behave like Ajax viewer selection

I am currently working on a map guide enterprise framework library for use within my company and am currently fixing issues relating do difference in behaviour between the Ajax viewer and the DWF viewer. The framework will need to be able to work consistently with both.

I currently have a problem with selection because the Ajax viewer handles feature selection on the server side where the DWF viewer holds selection state on the client side. I know that in order to deal with selection on the server the client selection needs to be sent from the client to the server prior to performing any operation that needs it. I note that from what I have been able to see the MgSelection object seems to depend on a resource [map name].Selection stored in the session. My though was to take the client selection and use the resource manager to store appropriate selection xml in the resource repository the MgSelection object expects to find. So far this has not worked properly. I have the client selection being posted to the server successfully as part of the request which needs to deal with selection. I have stored that in the location which the MgSelection looks for it. From what I can see though the xml layout of the expected server selection xml is not the same as the client selection xml meaning I may need to convert it. In order to give me a better idea of how the server selection xml should look I have a mechanism of dumping the contents of the selection resource when using the Ajax viewer to see what is there. The problem is that whenever I have done this I have found the body of the document always to be empty i.e. <Selection></Selection>. This has put into question whether this selection resource is generated the way I expect it to be. I wonder if the resource gets built after the creation of the MgSelection object but before the MgSelection.Open call. I am wondering if what I am trying to do i.e. fake ajax view selection for the MgSelection object when using the dwf viewer the way I am trying to do it is even possible at all. If it is not it would be good to find that out before spending too much time trying to do it.
