querying image service from javascript client

ToddSmith4 — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:14:45 GMT

I need to query my Image Service to find the appropriate rasterDataSet to add to my map. To do this, I am currently making 2 sequential calls to my image service:

The 1st call is to query the service to get to appropriate ObjectID of my raster dataset (where Name='someFileName')

The 2nd call is to get the image

Is there anyway I can do the query and return the image all in 1 REST call?

Here is my code snippet:

$.getJSON(
     "http://<my server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<my image service name>/ImageServer/query?objectIds=&where=Name%3D%27" + fileName + "%27&returnGeometry=false&returnIdsOnly=true&f=pjson&callback=?",
          function(Object)
          {
  imageObjectID = Object.objectIds[0];
  for (var j = 0, jl = map.layerIds.length; j < jl; j++) {
              var currentLayer = map.getLayer(map.layerIds);
   if (currentLayer.declaredClass == "esri.layers.ArcGISImageServiceLayer") {
    map.removeLayer(currentLayer);
   }
  }

  if(typeof imageObjectID != 'undefined')
  {
       var imageServiceLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISImageServiceLayer("http://<my server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<my image service name>/ImageServer/" + imageObjectID + "/image?bbox=-<SomeBoundingBox>&format=png&pixelType=U8&noData=noData%3D0&interpolation=RSP_BilinearInterpolation", { "opacity": .50 });
       map.addLayer(imageServiceLayer);
  }
 }
);
