Hi Kelly

Sorry to bump this but do you have a possible ETA on when the local download would be available? We require it as soon as possible.

Thanks.

ADD: Does anyone know where to get this version 10.01 of ArcGIS Server? We only have v10 and cannot find a SP or update out on ESRI anywhere.

Updates

Added the following new properties, methods, events and constants to existing objects.

* Added the ability to query for a feature count to the QueryTask and FeatureLayer classes. These new methods only work for layers published using ArcGIS Server 10 sp1 or greater.

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm

The legend supports the following layer types: ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer, ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer, FeatureLayer. If the layer is an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer or ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer created using ArcGIS Server 10.01 or higher the legend is generated using the REST Map Service legend resource.

http://mapservice-url/legend

If the layers are version 10 or lower the legend is created using the ArcGIS.com legend service. In order to use the ArcGIS.com legend service your map service needs to be publicly accessible and your application must be able to access ArcGIS.com.

Kelly, could you elaborate on the Legend Widget a little bit. I have read this: "If the layer is an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer or ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer created using ArcGIS Server 10.0 SP1 or higher the legend is generated using the REST Map Service legend resource."

I am not able to use my own ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer in the Legend widgets (they are not on ArcGIS.com). Does ArcGIS Server 10.0 SP1 exist yet? Or will the functionality be available only after SP1 is made available? I think more than a few people are scratching their heads over this...

Thanks,
Ken

Ken,

ArcGIS Server 10 SP1 is not available yet, so the Legend Widget will use the ArcGIS.com legend service to generate the legend for your layers. Your service does not need to be on ArcGIS.com but it does need to be publicy available and accessible by the ArcGIS.com legend service. You can test your service with this link, just enter your service in the SOAP URL field and click 'Generate Legends'.

Once ArcGIS Server 10.0 SP1 is released and you publish your services with that version then the Legend widget will use be generated using the REST map service legend resource.

So the API download contains a compact and normal version. I would expect the compact dir to have less content as outlined in the matrix. I don't see the difference as they have the exact same content in each directory...same size, file & dir count.
