<esri:Extent id="initialExtent" xmin="328613" ymin="4059819" xmax="795339" ymax="4555914" > <esri:SpatialReference wkid="26917"/> </esri:Extent> I was able to add the initial extent to the xml configuration file but I am wondering where I could add the spatial reference wkid="26917" to my configuration file.
