access and run ArcObjects .NET through REST API

[tonydavid]

Can we access ArcObjects .NET classes / methods from REST API? Pass parameters to ArcObject methods / classes and return results to users on web application?

Can Python scripts access ArcObject .NET classes / methods directly? The reason ... create GeoProcessing web services from GPTools implementation and allow web users to run ArcObject classes / methods?

The ArcObjects custom app (i.e. complex geometry and attribute checks) works currently as ArcGIS Desktop commands ... the plan is to migrate and expose these as Web GIS apps.

Any idea on various different ways to design / code this type of web application?

Cheers.

No, you cannot call ArcObjects via the REST API.  ArcObjects is a fined grained API which is not intended to be called over high latency networks.  If you need ArcObjects then develop a custom Server Object Extension for ArcGIS Server and call ArcObjects from within it.
