OK, so now that ArcGIS 10 implements the Web Mercator (Auc Sphere) with a WKID of 3857, rather than the WKID of 102100, which is what the Basemap services in the default FlexViewer app use, how the F@#$ are we supposed to create tilecaches with the same G!@@#$%* WKID as the Basemaps?
You'll have to excuse my lack of surprise at this whole confluence of crappy documentation, implementation changes at every version, and ESRIUC Presentations that are just out-and-out dishonest, but I've been an ESRI user for nearly 20 years and this is nothing but the same old thing. I've said for years that anyone at an ESRIUC that utters the words "Out-of-the-box functionality" should be punched in the face, and this just puts the cherry on top of that cake.
I've been trying all day to figure out why this "New Exciting App that Doesn't require you to be a developer" won't accept my tilecached services and now that I've FINALLY found a GREAT post (kudos to Robert!) on the reason, I find that there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it! That's really awesome ESRI! Do you have a special lab there in Redlands dedicated to F!@#ing with people?
So, does anyone have any thoughts on how to create a tilecache service with a WKID of 102100, short of uninstalling ArcGIS 10 and reinstalling 9.3?
