Generate Dynamic Renderer

Question

I wish to use the same features as the esri.tasks.GenerateRendererTask but it seems that it can be only used on ArcServer 10.1. Is it possible to achieve the same dynamic natural jenks breaks in the ArcServer 10?

So I will be having a `ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer` and I have to generate the renderer on the fly and the values are also dynamic and not in a fixed range. `esri.tasks.GenerateRendererTask` takes care of it beautifully, is there any other solution to this problem?

i have absolutely no experience with it, but i am under the impression that prior to ArcGIS Server 10.1, server side ArcObjects code was used by developers who needed to modify renderers in dynamicMapServices.

perhaps the AO forum would be a more helpful resource...

the ability to pass a request from the client and augment the renderer server side was added at ArcGIS Server 10.1

Map services allow clients to change layer appearance and behavior dynamically...

Thanks for the reply jgravois, but is there some kind of work around for ArcServer 10? If I can create the renderers without hard coding the ranges?
