Route name as route parameter for route task

[ab1]

Hi,

I'd like to specify the route name as a parameter to be sent to the NA server. The aim is to have the specified route name in the route result object.
I didn't find any attribute in the route paramerters class allowing that.
Is there any solution to follow?

Regards.

In fact, I'd like to send a parameter with the Route Task and be able to get that same parameter in the RouteResult object.
The goal is to be able to recognize the routes I receive from the server when I perform many solve operations on the same RouteTask.

There is no need to send something along to the server (and expecting it back). The AsyncResponder supports a third argument "token" which can be used for this. There is no need to create special classes or wrap it when the Adobe/Apache Flex SDK support it already 🙂

token:Object (default = null) ??? Additional information to associate with this request.


Some of the ArcGIS API for Flex samples take advantage of this, for example in the "Routing Directions" example which use it to keep track of the "from" and "to" geocodes: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#/Route_Directions/01nq0000000p000000...
