Making a component to view my Own Map !!

[dashti]

Dear all,

I am developing a website with jsf and richfaces, but now, I'm in a state that I need to show a detailed map of my city to the user. I looked around to find a component that make it work, but I couldn't find one!

Is there anyway to show my own detailed map (except google map) in a jsf component and what is it?!?

or, if there is not one, how can I make a component that gives an image as input map, and makes available zooming in and out on the map, and selecting a point.

my second question is, how can I visualize addressing??! I mean that, how can I let user to make an area selection on the map and I write the address with the user's selection ?


please help me! a component for viewing my own map that is an image ?!?!

Why Google Map or Microsoft Virtual Earth do not work for you?

I told you, I have my own detailed map, because google earth and others, don't support a good resolution for my city, because it is very small! but very beautiful. you can see one such map at http://www.kishisland.ir/ . it's pretty beautiful. but in flash format! now I want something like this with the full power of jsf, without using this flash, but using a picture for a map viewer component.

I searched a lot and found Oracle MapViewer (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/mapviewer/htdocs/winsoft.html) but I couldn't deploy it on Jboss 4.2. why ?!

As best I know, Google Map API allows to use custom map instead of one provided by Google. It might even not a map at all:
see http://www.maplib.net/map.php?id=1138

P.S. It is not about JSF. You can just use it in JSF application.

http://www.maplib.net is not free and open source! 100-200$ !!!

and

http://mapki.com/wiki/Add_Your_Own_Custom_Map only personalizes google map and not my own map!


I couldn't solve the problem.
