Is it possible to access a shapefile in a subdirectory of a dynamic workspace? Setting TableDataSource.dataSourceName to "my_path/my_shape.shp" doesn't seem to work.
Albert, It is recommended that an author makes a conscious decision about which individual folder, GeoDatabase etc. get registered as a dynamic workspace to a map service, rather than registering a parent folder and exposing all of its child folders wide open to the end clients by accident.
OK. Any idea on when this might be implemented on the earliest?
We will consider what you suggested, but we can't promise anything right now about the time frame or whether it will happen. Please design and implement your workflow by taking this restriction into account.
Do you know of a way to generate a dynamic workspace for a map service on the fly?
you can always modify a service's properties to add new dynamic workspaces using ArcGIS Desktop or Manager, which requires a restart though, as you may already know.
Thanks. We appreciate your suggestions very much. Tanu
