I would say that javamapscript is not strictly necessary for this kind of application. If you just need a map with basic (but friendly, like goggole maps) browsing capabilties I'd look into openlayers to provide the mapping functionality. Then I'd add a jsp or a servlet to the existing app so that it exports the vectors into one of the many formats supported by open layers like simple text http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/Text-js.html, but there are of course many others (http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers-js.html). This is probably the best solution in terms of quality vs developer effort.
