Editing with Flex Editor

TylerWaring — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:53:09 GMT

Greetings Everyone,
I am trying to implement some simple editing capabilities in my Sample Flex Viewer 2.2 site but with no luck.

I have created a msd with an editing template using desktop 10.0 and published it with ArcGIS server 10.0 as a feature server service by checking on the Feature Access option under the Capabilities section.

However, the whole Editor object is kind of a black box to me and I am having a hard time understanding what it wants that I am not giving it.

When I run my test to prove simple editing functionality I get the following error:

"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at com.esri.ags.components::Editor/map_mouseUpHandler()';

Another symptom is that when I test the out of the box EditWidget, no templates load. I only get a widget with a "Select template to create feature:" label and nothing else.

I am having a hard time figuring out what I am doing wrong.

Any kind pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyler Waring

Tyler,

This is the wrong forum for Flex Viewer and or widget questions:

http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/111-ArcGIS-Viewer-for-Flex

So in ArcMap did you create a feature templates for the layers that you are wanting to edit over the web?

So right click the layer in the ArcMap toc and choose "Edit Features" > "Organize Feature Templates" > "New Template", etc, etc...

Thanks Robert,

I'm just trying to prove editing functionality with the Editor. I am trying to design a very simple editor as part a feasibility study for a larger application. My testing of the EditWidget is a alternate attempt to prove editing functionality with the Editor in my environment, not roll the EditWidget into production. I trying to troubleshoot why I am unable to get the Editor to work and I think it is probably the same reason that the EditWidget is not behaving expected. Is this the appropriate forum or should I approach this in the Flex Widget forum as if I am having trouble getting the EditWidget to work?

I went back and checked the editing template in my original project and everything looks correct. The feature dataset is verisoned. Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Tyler

OK
For some reason using the computer IP was problematic for the feature server on our setup. When I tested with the fully qualified domain name, we were up and running. Thanks Robert.
