Creating a Web Mapping Application

SneadPrasad1 — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:06:35 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom web mapping application, but having difficulty understanding where to place customized html/javascript code.

I have created a basemap using ArcMap and have published the mxd with ArcServer. I can access the basemap and the various layers using Server Manager.

Now that i have assured my connections are functioning, i would like to begin to customize the web mapping application, but cannot figure out where to place the customized code.

ArcDesktop 10.1 (ArcMap, Catalog, SDE and Server)
Windows Server 2008 R2
Notepad++

Thanks

I think that you are talking about the Web ADF which generates an ASP.NET application/solution.

If so, then you should know that this product is end of life. In fact I think that 10.1 is the last version which will support this.

If you want to write JavaScript then you would be far better off using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript:

Does 10.1 still have the web application builder in Manager?

ArcGIS 10.1 will be the last planned release for the ArcGIS Web ADFs (Application Developer Framework) for both Microsoft .NET and Java. Esri will continue supporting the web ADFs during the 10.1 release cycle, but only fixes to critical issues will be addressed. No new functionality or enhancement requests will be addressed for the web ADFs. Web application developers are encouraged to move to a web services-based pattern with the ArcGIS APIs for JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight.

Thank you, Mr. Watson. Actually, the section of the article, that you provided a linked to, that I was interested in is:

ArcGIS 10.1 for Server will be the last planned release for the ArcGIS Server Manager Web Mapping Application (Microsoft .NET and Java).
o ArcGIS Server Manager includes a wizard for configuring out-of-the-box web mapping applications based on web ADF technology. ArcGIS 10.1 is the last release of the Web Mapping Application wizard in Manager. Esri will continue supporting the ArcGIS Server Manager Application Wizard and web applications created with it during the 10.1 release cycle, but only fixes to critical issues will be addressed. New out-of-the-box applications (ArcGIS Viewer for Flex, ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight, ArcGIS for SharePoint, ArcGIS.com viewer, ArcGIS Explorer Online) based on the ArcGIS Web Mapping APIs, as well as a new experience for configuring them, will be offered as part of the ArcGIS 10.1 for Server release.

Which appears that the web application wizard builder will still be offered to create an out-of-the-box web application.
