I need an open source GIS that allows one to view/zoom/click the maps using a web browser and should be java compliant (deployable on a java app server).
Well, I have tried to structure the requirement in ‘what-i-have’ and ‘what-i-need’ lists:
Inputs:
Location: lat/long
Data : Text to display
zoom level: (assume there are about 5)
Output
Data displayed on a Map
Would appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks.
UPDATE: GeoServer + OpenLayers seems to be the best fit for this requirement

…is what I use. You have work ahead of you no matter what you pick, though. Setting up data sources and making them look nice is a decent amount of effort.
