Access shapefile in subdirectory of a dynamic workspace

Is it possible to access a shapefile in a subdirectory of a dynamic workspace? Setting TableDataSource.dataSourceName to "my_path/my_shape.shp" doesn't seem to work.

Accessing sub folders from dynamic workspaces is not supported.

Is there a fundamental reason why it's not supported? It seems easy to implement and it will increase the usability of TableDataSource a lot.

We shall consider it for a future release.

OK. Any idea on when this might be implemented on the earliest?

Do you know of a way to generate a dynamic workspace for a map service on the fly?

Albert,
It is recommended that an author makes a conscious decision about which individual folder, GeoDatabase etc. get registered as a dynamic workspace to a map service, rather than registering a parent folder and exposing all of its child folders wide open to the end clients by accident.

We will consider what you suggested, but we can't promise anything right now about the time frame or whether it will happen. Please design and implement your workflow by taking this restriction into account.

you can always modify a service's properties to add new dynamic workspaces using ArcGIS Desktop or Manager, which requires a restart though, as you may already know.

Thanks. We appreciate your suggestions very much.
