help getting custom tool loaded into Flex application

MikeHouts — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:04:49 GMT

I created a custom arctool (arcpy script) that does a simple ???select by attributes??? based on user input from a predefined input file, and I want to add this as a tool to a web mapping application (Arcserver 10, flex). The model is like the zoom to coordinates function, but based on PLSS grid and runs fine in a project with the PLSS layer to be quarried present, but how can I make this a tool to function in a webservice .

Im new to arcserver and cant figure out how to get this tool integrated, either as a fixed tool, or as a separate web service that can be loaded into different applications.

Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks, Mike

You could create a geoprocessing service with your script, or add the "tool" as a ToolLayer in the map document before you publish it:
