Accessing map service through API

NadeemQazi — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:03:45 GMT

Hi there

I have built an application using flex API under flush builder 4.6. This application uses the map service published on the server. I run the application and it works fine on my labtop and i can see the url address in the browser:http://149.157.138.198/testflushproject-debug/testflushproject.html

The ARCGIS server, Internet information server all lies on the same laptop. Now i use this url on the other laptop which is connected to this network. however when i enter this url the page is opened showing me the user interface but the map is not shown on the other laptop. I can see the other things like cross hair and other userinterface control however the map is not visible any idea......

<esri:Map id="mymap" x="-2" y="14" crosshairVisible="true" level="3" load="OnMapLoad()">

<esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer url="http://localhost/ArcGIS_Server/rest/services/davesite/MapServer"/>

<esri:GraphicsLayer id="graphicsLayer"/>
</esri:Map>

<s:RichEditableText id="lbl_mapscale" x="172" y="22" text="1:{mymap.scale.toFixed(0)} (level {mymap.level})"/>
<s:Label x="54" y="22" text="Current map scale"/>
<s:HGroup x="494" y="10" width="200" height="200">

<s:RichEditableText id="mousecoords"
editable="false"
text="Move the mouse over the map to see its current coordinates..."/>

</s:HGroup>

Nadeem,

You can nor mix localhost (the url of your ArcGISDynamicMapService) and then use the IP address to access the application with out using a crossdomain.xml. The easy fix in your case is to quit using different urls. If you are going to use the IP address then use it every where.

<esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer url="http://149.157.138.198/ArcGIS_Server/rest/services/davesite/MapServer"/>

Actually when i tried to used with the ipaddress in the url than the map did not show at all even on local laptop. i think there is some configuration need to be done at ARCGIS server to allow the map to be seen remotely. but I am not sure how to do this. I used following code.
<esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer url="http://http://149.157.138.198/ArcGIS_Server/rest/services/aiportMoneve_Activeonlu/MapServer"/>

Nadeem,

You do realize that you have http twice in the url right?..

Here is a link to the documentation on using crossdomain.xml
