Hi Martin, When ArcObjects comes into picture? A1. ArcObjects is the developer technology that was used to develop ArcGIS Desktop (the map authoring application), the geodatabase data model, and some parts of ArcGIS Server. What role ArcSDE plays here? A2. ArcSDE technology is used behind-the-scenes to set-up and enable the ArcSDE geodatabase on the PostgreSQL DBMS platform. The data model where you store your GIS data. How does ArcGIS server supports the above work flow? A3. ArcGIS Server is the software that enables you to publish and share your GIS resources onto the internet/intranet. In this case, your map becomes a map service with an associated feature service. Please review the help documentation for more information. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Martin, Yes, what you are proposing is possible. You would simply publish a map document that contains the feature class (in your PostgreSQL geodatabase) you want to add your route onto, as a map service with the feature service property enabled. Make sure that you've defined a template for that feature class. Then simply reference the feature service in the Edit Widget of the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex.

Hi Joanna, I am interested in editing capabilities: can I set in a viewer a point feature class to be edited by the user? I mean dragging points to new location, adding and deleting points, and changing description in attribute table. Web editing functionality will be available out-of-the-box by final release of the Viewer. Could you also explain me how I can later insert this map application as one of the pages in a bigger web application? Yes this is possible by editing the index.htm Viewer page. If you look at the contents of index.htm, you will find a <div> with an id of �??silverlightControlHost�?�. This div can be placed in any HTML page with content around it. When doing this, make sure that the Silverlight <object> tag�??s source param has the right path to the Viewer xap file: <param name="source" value="Viewer.xap"/> I would ask that for future discussions, please post on the Esri beta community forums, so all beta participants can see and share questions & comments related to the Viewer. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Josh, I did have one question though, how are they organized in the code gallery? That's a good question and I am not 100% sure. The widget organization applies to all the code gallery items for all the Esri Resource Centers. I believe they are sorted by date the item was last modified, but I am checking into this. Hi David, Any other way to get access to vote other than through the link in the email?  If not, any way to get the email resent? Apologies for the late reply, I only just saw your post.
