how to set spatial filter for a featurelayer

RaviKonaparthi

Hi,

I am able to set spatial filters by providing input geometry and spatial relationship to a FeatureLayer in snapshot mode in silverlight api. How do i do this in JSAPI 2.0? The feature layer doesnt have any geometry property. Is there an elegant way of achieving this by some other means?

Ravi

Hi;

There is no spatialRelationship property exposed through FeatureLayer object. How did you set that in silverlight ? I can only see the Geometry property .

Thanks,

I have noticed that jsapi 2.0 provides a datalayer class (esri.tasks.DataLayer) which has geometry and spatialrelationship property. But I am unable to get it to work and couldnt find any sample which uses a datalayer.

Yeah I am trying to use DataLayer as well but could not find any code samples using this.

Did you find Anything?

Ben,
I am using proxy file for this functionality and i have fixed my issue, now i am able to apply spatial filter on a feature layer.

Ravi, I'll really appreciate if you would explain your solution.

I'm going to port my apps to arcgis 10 and js apis 2.1 and I need a way to use spatial filters and obtain a server-side rendering; if understood correctly this solution could work also for me.

thx

Hi Kelly,

I have tried the following code and it was working fine in my scenario. But when i buffer a point for a radius of 10 KM using geometry service and pass the resultant polygon (in my case a circle) to the query filter it doesn't filter. But the same polygon if i convert to extent it works fine. Any idea why this behavior is?

Regards,
Ravi.

Ravi, did you set up a proxy server and reference it in your code?
http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/ArcGISServer/apis/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/ags_proxy.htm

Any querystring longer than 2000 characters just won't work due to Web browser limitations.

Ravi,
We don't have a method directly on the feature layer to apply a spatial filter - I don't see one in Flex either. However if you want to apply a spatial query directly to the feature layer one approach would be to add a feature layer in selection mode then use selectFeatures to perform a spatial query. Here's a sample that shows how this works, here only features within the specified extent are drawn on the map.

Hi kelly, thanks for the input.

I am actually looking for an equivalent of spatial filter (geometry) functionality provided in flex and silverlight api for a FeatureLayer. If I use queryFeatures method to query the feature layer, then I have to deal with results.

This is not so for a featureLayer in silverlight and flex api where I can set the geometry and spatialrelationship and it works!. Its pretty straightforward there.

I have noticed that jsapi 2.0 provides a datalayer class (esri.tasks.DataLayer) which has geometry and spatialrelationship property. But I am unable to get it to work and couldnt find any sample which uses a datalayer.

Ravi,

You can use the queryFeatures method to query the feature layer using a spatial filter. The queryFeatures method takes in input query that has a geometry property you can use to define the filter geometry.
