Dynamic workspace and generate renderer?

Should it be possible generate rendering information (GenerateRenderTask) based on a layer in the dynamic workspac of a map service?

I find it difficult to get this working based on the 'Dynamic Workspace' and 'Generate Renderers' examples. For instance: should an URL be defined for GenerateRenderTask and if so: how to get it? DetailsTask.getAllDetails doesn't seem to give information on a layer in the dynamic workspace.

You need to set the "source" property to a LayerDataSource:

You'll aslo need to set the "url" like shown in the doc for the "source" property.

Thank you, using http://<mapservice-url>/dynamicLayer does work. It was not clear to me that I had to add �??/dynamicLayer�?� to my map service URL to access the dynamic workspace. May be the documentation can be extended to clearly explain this.
