Creating Map Services using ArcGIS Server

jonathangamble

I have ArcGIS 9.3.1 and would like to share content using a web map (including the data in the geodatabase).  My understanding is that I am unable to add a layer package to ArcGIS Online that can be accessible from a web map using ArcGIS 9.3.1.  is that correct?

If this is the case, then I am looking for an alternative approach.  If you have an ArcGIS Server in your enterprise, are you able to create and host a Map Service that can be accessible to the general public?  Can this Map Service be incorporated with the basemaps available on ArcGIS Online and ultimately used in Flex & iOS applications? 


Thanks

Yes this is correct

As long as your ArcGIS Server is publicly accessible, then you should have no problems using it with ArcGIS.com web maps or directly with a Flex and iOS apps.
