Parcel Notification Widget

[TristanKnowlton]

I have almost successfully installed the Parcel Notification Widget.  I cannot get ESRI's  locator service to work.  When plugging in an address, I get a blank screen but it claims it found something.  It lists it's prospective matches in the matches tab.  They are not valid though because the matches cannot be used to select parcels with a buffer around that location.

The relevant portion of the xml file for the widget looks like this:

<!--Select Parcel by Address Field -->
<!--findparceladdressfield></findparceladdressfield-->
<locatoraddressfield>Address</locatoraddressfield>

I have attached a screenshot of my application when I use the geocoding service.

Thanks!

Are you using v1.3 or 2.0?  I got the parcel notification widget to work well in 1.3 and here is that portion of my code.  You are missing the field that needs to be queried, for example, my SITUSFULLA. 

<!--Select Parcel by Address Field -->
<findparceladdressfield>SITUSFULLA</findparceladdressfield>
<locatoraddressfield>Address</locatoraddressfield>

Shawn,

I guess I don't understand how the address locator works in this widget then.  I want it to find the address by using the ESRI geocoding service, not my address field in my parcel layer.  If I use my address field, it seems that it will have to be typed 100% identically to what is in the field.  If the locating service is used, it will search based on the closest match.

I have also been told that you have to use one of the other, not both.  That is why I don't have anything between the "findparceladdressfield" tags. 

Thanks for your help.

Darryl,

    You are correct you need to use one or the other. The issue you are having is with spatial reference. The Parcel Notification Widget is hard coded in several spot to a particular spatial reference. Look here, read thought the entire thread.

Robert,

I had already changed my projections but that does not fix my problem.  Since I am using cached map services, isn't that irrelevant anyway since you can't reproject a cached map?

Thanks!

Darryl,

    What that thread is talking about is re-projecting the locator results not your basemaps.

Ok, so I inserted a fresh ParcelNotificationWidget.xml into flash builder and ran it again after changing the projection IDs. Now it does absolutely nothing when I try to use the geocoding service.

What am I doing wrong?  I changed the projection id's and that is it. 

Thanks.
