GeoServer+Postgre/PostGIS

[Chamaraprasanna]

I have started to develop some WebGIS services for my thesis using ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 1.5.

It seems that the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex can just present REST services published by ArcGIS Server while I need to publish my data which come from open source web map server (such as GeoServer+Postgre/PostGIS). Actually, I want to switch from ArcGIS server to GeoServer and use ArcGIS Viewer for Flex to visualize the map.

Would you please let me know that I can use GeoServer instead of ArcGIS Server and send the services to ArcGIS Viewer for Flex? and if it is possible, would you please let me know about some references for implementing that?

Thanking you in advance and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I think already answered your question at http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/54736-WMS-in-Geoserver?p=187980#post187980 where you replied you would try it. You would publish your services using GeoServer or ArcGIS Server, then consume it from the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex.  If you're using GeoServer, you will consume that as WMS - which is supported by the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex - see doc for <layer> tag at http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Layer_tag/01m30000000p00000....

Note that I don't think there is any version "1.5", the latest release is "2.5" and there is also a prerelease version for 3.0 available.
