using google maps in the java app

I want to use google maps in my java web app. What i want is when a user visits a particular page his location be showed in the map with its ip address as the input. Is it possible ?

Also the map should be able to locate the position the user entered in the text-field. How can i do that ?

I even downloaded http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/downloads/list the jar files,samples from the link but they don't work as some of the packages are missing like com.google.gdata.util .

You'll have to use JavaScript to use the Google Maps API. Here's a sample of using HTML5 geolocation to find someone's location: http://html5demos.com/geo

For user input, you might check out using the Google Maps API Places Library which has an autocomplete function: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#places_autocomplete

I have used Google maps more on the Javascript side.

And i always find Google Playground to be the best tutor in helping out.

Check it out.
