I am not sure if should be posting this question here. I want to know if there are any software (open source or commercial) which can create a map using java,which I can incorporate in my web application. I am looking for a software which can take co-ordinates(lat,long) as parameter and return a map as per those co-ordinates. I know it is do-able but I just need the right direction. Thanks, Riddhi.

A open source link: Java GIS, I've tried Open Map - looks ok. Both the leading (UK) GIS products provide Java support; ERSIERSI MapObjects and MapInfo

MapInfo is not a free software. I have tried GeoMap. I need to provide a datafile of co-ordinates which I am not sure how to do it. I also downloaded GeoTools. It has lots of jar files. I am not sure how should I be proceeding after that. Is there anyone who has used GeoTools and can guide me a little bit? Thanks, Riddhi.

And ERSI ArcView is not free either. You may find that the maps and data is also not free. In the UK, the OS put a lot of effort into maintaining maps - they are not going to give it away free.
