Google maps with Mysql in Java EE framework

Question

I am working on a web application with Java EE that takes the address of people from a MySql database and shows their location on Google maps.

Currently I am doing it manually as I don't know how to do integration of Google maps in JSP. Kindly give me some sort of direction to do so with Java.

Answer 1

Firstly, fetch list of all addresses from the database, then using Google geocoder service, fetch the latitude-longitude of those addresses. Here is the sample code (http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-samples/source/browse/trunk/geocoder/java/GeocodingSample.java?r=2476). Then you can create Google Map Marker on the map..Here is the sample code http://www.paulwest.co.uk/article.php/using-google-maps-api-to-mark-your-location-and-address

Hope it helps.
