Adding Operational Layers

[JamesArmstrong]

ArcGIS 9.3.1
ArcServer 9.3.1
Flexviewer 2.3.1
Status: newbie

I have downloaded the flexviewer and got it running on my ArcServer using the default config.xml file. I have changed the initial extent as well as added a wkid= 2264 (North Carolina) to the intitialextent line.  The site seems to work fine.

Then I add my own operational layer (from my server)- and I get an error and the site will not load.  If this layer is commeted out, the site again works fine.  Spent last few days researching ans trying different things.  I have learned alot, but not how to solve this issue.  Any suggestion or points in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.  Below is the <map> portion of my config file and I have attached the screen shot of the received error.  The site is still in test mode and not open to general internet.

Thanks, but this did not seem to work. I have tried to use other layers in the service as well as change from feature to dynamic (also changing the url as appropriate). the layer shows up in the TOC but no data is shown. I am sure it very basic, but something that I have not yet been able to find. I can not move forward until this is solved, so any suggestion or advice will be appreciated.

Looks like you have a minimum scale set on that map service. Try zooming in past that scale to see if it displays.
Also, check your spatial references. As far as I know, your map service should be in the same projection as whatever the BASE layers are...in this case Web Auxilury Sphere... Spatial Reference: 102100 (3857)

thanks for the assistance.  It turned out to be spatial reference as you suggested.

Im sure there will be many more questions over the next few months.

thanks again.

Specifying the rest endpoint solved the problem.  Thanks, Scott!

Hi there, I have a same problems with operational layers that couldn't worked. I want to used a map  from my arcgis server but its seem the connection doesn't work at all, Even  I add the cross domain.xml on the root directory of inetpub/wwwroot on the arcgis server, still doesn't work. I'm stack!
BTW, I used a flex viewer 2.3.1, and below I included here a script from my apps :

Arief,

   Your issue is you are using layer type dynamic and tiled and then specifying a particular layer id in your url this is not allowed.
