Needed help on using own map service

PRamachandran — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 07:22:43 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to develope ArcGIS webmapping application using ArcGIS JAvascript APIs. I tried using the sample available at the resource site using Javascript API.

It worked sucessfully using the mapservice from ArcGisOnline as refered in the sample. Later I tried to use my own mapservice by creating a mapservice using the 'Publish Map service' option from the ArcGIS Manager.

I tried to replace the URL of the the newly published Mapservice with the existing one in the sample code as given below:

myTiledMapServiceLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer

           ("http://srvnamexyz/ArcGIS1/rest/services/BaseMapping/MapServer");/// Note: 'BaseMapping' is the name of the map service which is newly added

///("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer");

            myMap.addLayer(myTiledMapServiceLayer); ///layer is added to a map
        }

Then I tried to run the same application with this modification, but it resulted in displaying a blank map window.

Please kindly help me on how to use my own mapservice while developing web application using ArcGIS Javascript APIs, your help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Try to post a code sample that is as complete as possible using the CODE tags:

var sample = 'nicely formatted code';

if you type your map service URL with "?f=psjon" at the end into a browser: http://srvnamexyz/ArcGIS1/rest/services/BaseMapping/MapServer?f=psjon do you get anything back? if yes, what is it? if an error, what is the error message?

I get an error stating :-

Error
Unsupported format 'psjon'

Code: 400

Can you please kindly suggest further on this regards?

Thanks,

Ram

are you sure your layer you are trying to view is a Cached/Tiled layer? it looks like it may be a dynamic layer from the json description you posted.

Thanks for the hint. I changed :

myTiledMapServiceLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer

myTiledMapServiceLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer

Its working fine.

Thanks a lot! once gain 🙂
