I have been doing some research on hosting cache tiles on S3 and wanted to throw some questions out to the geonet to see what I could dig up.
Below are my questions
1. Is there a tried and tested JavaScript API Custom class that can be used with the map services details file and the tiles hosted on s3 ?
2. Can the WebTiledLayer class can be used for this purpose for spatial references other than Web Mercator ?
3. Has there been any progress along the lines of using compact cache in the cloud or is this still limited to exploded cache ?
Wow, I did not realize that this would lead to no answers at all !! Any comments from anyone ?
1. No need for a custom class I think (see "2").
2. Yes. WebTiledLayer can be used for any spatial reference. You just need to specify the TileInfo.
Yes, I'm using non-default projections in a WebTiledLayer. Works great in Silverlight, JavaScript, and Print as long as you add some extra parameters, like the tiling scheme.
But, moving to webapp builder and AGO, I can't figure out how to add this setup to a webmap. The AGO user interface doesn't have a place to enter the tiling scheme. And, the webmap specification doesn't document this support.
Do you know of any way to embed this webtile layer with a custom projection into an AGO webmap?
