am very new to web-mapping, so this question may be a little misguided.
I want to develop a simple web mapping application using OpenLayers which can display Cadastral information that are currently in PostGIS(2 tables: property and boundaries).
I want this to be as simple (and as low maintainence) as possible:
-Use java for developping
-The user can search a parcel by 4 fields (name, indice complement and nature) existing in table : "titre"
-and then the user can generate the an A4 sheet for print that contains the title/property plan and also a table containing the name, X and Y of boundaries of title/property from the second table : "Boundaries"
-Styling of the vector layers is of minimal importance.
PS: i tried to use the library geotools with applets but i have a problem with versions, because the tuto that i used is old 2004, and i couldn't find the old version 2.1 on the net, i only have 2.7
