GeoServer - <a href="http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Home">http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Home</a> is quick and
easy. Alternativly there is Mapserver <a href="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/">http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/</a>
which works nicely but is harder to set up.<br>
<br>
Both of these eaxmples will allow you to publish your data as an image
using the OGC web map server protocol and as features using the OGC web
feature server protocol. Since these are open standrds you can use a
variety of clients to view the data. If you need to put the images on a
web page then I'd recomend Mapbuilder (<a href="http://mapbuilder.codehaus.org/">http://mapbuilder.codehaus.org/</a>)
or Ka-map (<a href="http://maptools.org">maptools.org</a>).<br>
