Hi Rex.

You can download and test your development without any production license, including Viewshed and LOS.

You can download the entire SDK from http://developers.arcgis.com/java today, all you need to do is register for a free developer account. No license necessary.

You can also download the Sample Viewer from here, which includes Viewshed: Viewshed | ArcGIS for Developers

Hi Eric,

Thanks I have run this sample and getting the results. But I would like to run it using the localserver. I donot find any geoprocessing service associated with LOS and viewshed for local server.

Thanks

Rex

Hi Rex.

Sorry for my confusion. You are correct, we don't include a Geoprocessing package to use with the localserver in our out-of-the-box sample data and resources.

If you look at the Esri/vehicle-commander-java · GitHub repo, you'll find one. Maybe Vehicle Commander is a good place to start, since it does use a localserver viewshed model. Let me know if this is helpful or not.

You can also read about creating your own GP packages for use in ArcGIS Runtime here: Author and publish a geoprocessing model—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java | ArcGIS for Developers . The example is geared toward creating a local routing task, but the principles are the same for viewshed, line of sight, or any custom model you might need to use.
