How to highlight result set data on world map

Question

Hi,
I want to show the graphical representation of world map to highlight the countries which having the maximum booking of hotels of our client xyz.
All the values are coming from the mysql db .
I want the library which will draw the world map on the Jpanel for the respective result set
Plz help me for this .
I generally use the JFreeChart for drawing the other graphs but the Jfreechart don't have the library for the World Map or Destination Graph etc.
Hint: ( Google Analytic's map is the best example )
Thanks In Advanced
Mahesh

This isn't what you want, but it will get you on the right track. I chose the most complex image I could find so give it a few seconds to read the image and build the paths. The parser is catered to the image I chose, but in general you can probably expect the "path" element to delineate the boundaries for any map svg. The particular image I chose grouped the paths with country ID so I added a little mouse interaction to the GUI. Forgive me for any dumbly coded stuff. I didn't put much effort into streamlining it.
