Find object in Feature layer with Id

BeakalGobena — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:36:24 GMT

Assume I have some some records in my database and this records are rendered as buttons in my page next to ARC GIS map.
Within the map there is a feature layer is rendered from a Map server containing objects which relate with the my db records.

So the requirement is when the user clicks the buttons I want to find an object within the feature layer that is related with the id of my record and display an infoWindow around it. Mainly I want to trigger some event from my pages using Javascript or something that will find a specific object in the layer and center and display extra info.

Is this possible?

Absolutely possible.
Check out the SDK and API, there should be some samples and tutorials.

Like pepatosp said, check out FindTask as well as Query (and maybe even QueryTask)
