3.6 and selection lines

I read the following line in the release of 3.6:

"Query and Search widgets now have support for line symbology on polygon features.  Search widget now supports setting symbology per layer???s results."

Does this mean that when a polygon is selected, it can show a line graphic instead of a polygon graphic?  If so, this would solve the issue where the selection graphics (despite being transparent) cover up annotation below it when printing. (though this may be a fault in the Advanced Print SOE widget - I'm not sure if this happens in the relatively new built-in print widget as I haven't tried it out yet)

Robert, will this be implemented in your eSearch?

It might be time for me to update from 3.0!

I do mean the eSearch.  But in conjunction with the print widgets. 

Are you saying that when you print, with something selected via eSearch, that the selection appears on the print?

If so, any idea why it would not for me.  I read through all of the documentation for eSearch but I suppose I could have missed a config setting?

I mentioned the PrintSOE to say that the issue appears in both print widgets, so as to rule out something specific to them.

thanks

After further review, it would appear that the simplefillsymbol DOES appear on the print, but the simplelinesymbol does NOT.

That would be for polygons.

Regardless, using the fill symbol, with outline only, works just fine so I suppose it doesn't matter.  However, I'm still getting duplicated, or more, labels but I suppose this applies to the print widgets and not the eSearch.

Eric,

   Yes using Flex Viewer 3.6 and  the 3.6 version of the eSearch and the OTB print widget, as the images  attached above indicate, I can print the selection just fine when only  symbolizing with an outline. There is no configuration option in the eSearch that would affect your ability to have the selection printed. Here is an example of the layer symbology tag I have for my test parcel layer that I using in the images above:

            <symbology>
                <simplefillsymbol color="0x00ff00" alpha="0" style="null">
                    <outline color="0x888888" alpha="0.8" width="2" />
                </simplefillsymbol>
            </symbology>


I do have the OTB print widget point to MY 10.2 Export Web Map Task

Do you notice any issues with haphazard duplication (or more) of feature labels when printing?  It appears fine in the app but the created print has features that are labeled multiple times.
