Features supported by ESRI

[NP]

Hi All,

I am very new to ESRI tools and need help.

We are reviewing options for a web based map application with the features below.

a) Multiple users with different view of the map for each user based on the users location
b) To show shape files specific to the user that logs in and selects.
c) Capabilities for editing shape files (points/lines/polygon).
d) Java API's to support development of additional features.

Does any of ArcIMS / ArcGIS server (online) support these?

Any answer or direction is greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Hi

For web based mapping applications we've got a few options which may be of interest to you.

You should take a look at the ArcGIS Online capabilities for "cloud" based solutions 

http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline

If you want to develop your own applications (which can consume either your own hosted services or ArcGIS Online services and webmaps), then you need to look at one of the web APIs we offer.  We have APIs for FLEX, Java Script and WPF.


There are some links below and forums for each of these products.

General link : http://www.esri.com/getting-started/...rs/get-started

- Flex : http://www.esri.com/getting-started/...t-started/flex

- Java Script: http://www.esri.com/getting-started/...ted/javascript

There are loads resources available on all of these products.

Let me know if this helps.

Good luck

Mark

Mark nailed it.

Since you asked about Java as well, it may be worth mentioning that there is also the ArcGIS Java Web Services (AgsJWS) API for enterprise Java development:
