FindParameters:layerDefinitions

Question

Could someone just confirm that the layerDefinitions property in FindParameters is for Server 10 only?

If so, it would be helpful if the documentation @ http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/index.html coud be updated to reflect this.

Is there any way in 9.3.1 using a findtask to acheive the same functionality?

BjornSvensson · Answer

Just FYI that the documentation have been updated with this information, as well as some similar places where the "ArcGIS Server 10 is required" info was missing.

FindParameters - layerDefinitions
FindParameters - maxAllowableOffset

IdentifyParameters - layerDefinitions
IdentifyParameters - layerTimeOptions
IdentifyParameters - maxAllowableOffset
IdentifyParameters.html - timeExtent

Query - maxAllowableOffset
Query - objectIds
Query - timeExtent

Thanks for helping us make the documentation better 🙂

Yes, this requires 10:

Thanks for letting us know that this is missing from the API docs.

Would it be possible for you to use the QueryTask instead even though this means a separate request per layer?

Thanks for that, just wanted to be sure. Unfortunately there are about 10 layers to query which I would guess is much slower?

Just another reason to note down for moving to 10 :o |
