How do I dynamically generate a map legend in its own image?

Oracle Application Server 10G MapViewer FAQ
When issuing a map request that contains only a legend spec with no drawable map data (not specifying any basemap/themes/features), MapViewer will generate a map image that contains only the map legend.
