Is there a public ESRI geometry service that we can download to do Buffer?

Hi all,

I am doing the buffer task. But I can't use the geometry service in ESRI sample "http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer"...my prj manage won't allow me to use. So I am wondering is there a public geometry service that I can download and install on my machine in which I can execute the buffer task?

If it has, can you share the weblink? 🙂

If not, is there other way to do the buffer task?
Thank you !

or I should create a geometry service by myself in ArcCatalog?

Yes, you are right. You will need to create your own GeometryService.

Here some documentation that might be useful: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/help/arcgis_server_dotnet_help/index.html#//009300000027...

Thank you for answering Jennifer 🙂 I will try this.

Just an idea: If you just need to do buffer on a point, a little bit of trigonometry using Cosine and Sine would get you going all on the client side, so you don't need a service

Thank you for this. 🙂 I need to buffer a polygon in current prj, so have to use the geometry service. But thank you all the same.

Yeah polygon buffering is quite a bit more complex to do 🙂
