'm getting started with arcgis api for javascript, and it looks like most of the tutorials recommend using geoprocessing services if I'm trying to apply any of the tools from the toolbox. I'm trying to create something very similar to the zonal stats tutorial (which returns the sum of values in a user-defined polygon), but am having trouble making my own geoprocessing service match the sample one offered up here.
Are there any tutorials pertaining to creating or understanding the services? looking at the reference site that my own service returns, it is very similar to the sample one (same parameter types, same image for the model), but something isn't lining up and I'm unsure of how to figure this out.
Not sure what you mean by "not lining up". Having issues creating and publishing a gp service? Do you have a gp service published but can't interact with it through your js application? Or is it something else?
Just a tip: Most folks on the forum won't engage threads which don't contain detailed info on the problem, code samples, etc.
