This document outlines the steps to develop an application that utilizes Google's Places API and Maps Geocoding API using Java and JSP. It includes instructions on setting up the necessary software tools, creating JSP files for user input and displaying maps, and obtaining a Google Maps API key. The final output allows users to enter latitude and longitude to view the corresponding location on Google Maps.

Practical 4

Develop application to consume Google’s search / Google’s Map RESTful Web service.
To create a simple application that searches for a place using the Google Places API and
retrieves the details from the Google Maps Geocoding API. Steps are as follows:

Software Tools Required

 Code Editor: VS Code
 Gmail: Before Starting this Practical, your personal Gmail account must be logged in
the web browser.
 Google Cloud SDK: For managing Google APIs. Free Trial and Free Tier Services
and Products | Google Cloud

Downloads Required:
 JDK: Java Downloads | Oracle India (x64 MSI Installer)
 Apache Tomcat: Apache Tomcat Downloads. (x64 bit Windows zip)

After Downloading JDK, Set the Path in Environment Variables in User Variables > Path >
New and Provide the Variable name and values to set the Path for JDK as shown below:
Demonstration:

Click OK to remaining opened Edit environment variable, Environment Variables and

System Properties windows.

Now check the versions that shows path is set for Java JDK
Step 1: Download and Extract apache-tomcat-9.0.98 zip file into folder, and open apache-
tomcat-9.0.98 folder till bin and select the directory path, cut (press backspace) and type
cmd.
Demonstration:
Directory Path (Your directory path depends where you place your apache-tomcat
folder)
Select directory path

Type cmd and command prompt will open to the same directory path

Now type: startup.bat

We will get this tomcat loaded

Note:
This Tomcat Server must be kept running in the background by minimizing this
window. Otherwise, the we won’t get the output.
Another way to load Tomcat
Also, in bin folder we will have startup as Windows Batch File, double click Run and it will
load Tomcat.

Step 2: After completing Step 1, Now open apache-tomcat-9.0.98 folder, open a folder name
webapps which is already created in apache-tomcat-9.0.98 folder

Open webapps folder, create a new folder and name it as: myjsp
Step 3: Open myjsp folder and open it with VS Code

Create 2 jsp files with name myindex.jsp and myinput.jsp

1. Filename: myindex.jsp : Display Map with Google Maps API
Code:
<%@ page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Google Maps Location</title>

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY
&callback=initMap" async defer></script>
<style>
/* Set the size of the map container */
#map {
height: 400px;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<%
// Fetch latitude and longitude from form inputs
String latParam = request.getParameter("t1");
String longParam = request.getParameter("t2");
// Default values in case parameters are not provided
double lati = 40.7128; // Default latitude (New York)
double longi = -74.0060; // Default longitude (New York)
// If parameters exist, parse them to doubles
if (latParam != null && !latParam.trim().isEmpty()) {
lati = Double.parseDouble(latParam);
}
if (longParam != null && !longParam.trim().isEmpty()) {
longi = Double.parseDouble(longParam);
}
%>
<h3>Google Maps Location</h3>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
// Initialize the map
function initMap() {
var location = { lat: <%= lati %>, lng: <%= longi %> }; // Use JSP values for lat and
lng
// Create a new map centered on the location
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 10, // Zoom level
center: location // Center the map on the provided coordinates
});

// Add a marker at the location

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
2. Filename: myinput.jsp : Form to Get Latitude and Longitude
Code:
<%@ page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Enter Latitude and Longitude</title>
</head>
<body>

<form action="myindex.jsp" method="get">
<pre>
Enter latitude: <input type="text" name="t1" />
Enter longitude: <input type="text" name="t2" />
<input type="submit" value="Show" />
</pre>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Your myjsp folder will look like this

Step 4: Open Google Cloud Platform Console,

Click on Console

Step-by-Step Guide to Implement Google Maps API with JSP

1. Get Your Google Maps API Key
 First, you need to obtain an API key from Google Cloud Console to use the Google
Maps JavaScript API. Follow these steps:
o Go to Google Cloud Console.
o Create a new project (or select an existing one).
o Enable the Maps JavaScript API. (Instead of Places API and Geocoding
API)
o Under Credentials, create an API Key and copy it.
Demonstration: Here we have existing projects, now click on NEW PROJECT
Project Name: GoogleMapsAPI and click CREATE

Now we can see our new project GoogleMapsAPI and Notifications of new project

Search, Click and Enable the Maps JavaScript API.

After Enabling Maps JavaScript API, it will show notifications and also redirect to billing
method (Ignore billing method)

Now click on Navigation Menu

APIs & Services > Credentials

Click + CREATE CREDENTIALS > API Key

We got the API Key Created, Copy the API Key and paste it in myindex.jsp file.
Now, open myjsp folder and open with VS Code and paste the API_KEY in myindex.jsp
script tag:
Shown below:
Before:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY
&callback=initMap" async defer></script>
After: :<script
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?
key=AIzaSyAiofE1T6K975oNisc37nvURK7c87XR7e4 &callback=initMap" async
defer></script>

Step 5: Now to check the output, open a web browser Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge
Ctrl + Click to follow the Link, URL: http://localhost:8080/myjsp/myinput.jsp
Demonstration:
