Hi.
Thanks for the note. The map viewer I'm talking about is just a wrapper
around various publicly available online mapping services rather than a full
blown GIS application. The requirements would be restricted to:
[...]
My perspective may be a bit "geoinsider" perspective, but I think that Google
Maps or Yahoo Maps are just nice toys. They're fun to use, but they hardly fit
professional applications. Of course, JSFying them is a progress, and this is a
nice thing to do, but you should be aware that professional market needs more
powerful tools.
In the Web GIS field, a dream would be a framework like Community Map Builder
fully JSFied. Map viewer itself and all of the controls implemented as JSF
components so that you could do something like:
<m:mapViewer wms="wms.xml" boundingBox="#{myBean.boundingBox}">
<m:pan/>
<m:zoomIn/>
<m:zoomOut/>
<m:zoomFull/>
<m:selectBox value="#{myBean.selectBox}"/>
<m:selectPolygon value="#{myBean.selectPolygon}"/>
<m:distanceMeasurementTool/>
</m:mapViewer>
Bye.
