I agree that Javascript is useful language for web mapping. However, Java has nothing to do with Javascript.

I totally agree with Alex. You probably don't need a Web geoserver / mapserver, You can use free available map services (e.g. Mapbox, Cloudmade, OpenStreetMap (OSM), etc.) Leaflet is very good in creating web mapping using Mapbox, cloudmade, OpenStreetMap. Have a look at this example. https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/axler/SLRE_Deep_Map/index2.html View the javascript code on this page.
