Hi Jason, Just to add onto Robert's post: You would simply publish a map document that contains the feature class(es) you want to enable Web editing on, as a map service with the feature service property activated. Make sure that you've defined a template for each editable feature class. Then simply reference the feature service in the Edit Widget of the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex.

Hi Dana, ... At the UC it was said you can now access spatial and tabular data in other RDBMS systems without SDE. At 10 this was true on a read-only basis with Query Layers. At 10.1, can users now also *edit* spatial data in non-SDE instances using "ArcGIS for Desktop" (ArcMap)? ... ArcGIS Server 10.1 will include a new technology component called Spatial Data Server (SDS). It is a separate installation from ArcGIS Server and will be included with all editions of ArcGIS Server. SDS is a low-memory footprint application that enables you to publish feature services of your vector data stored in a database or geodatabase. SDS will allow you to edit spatial data in a standard database and does not require ArcSDE technology. Editing for SDS is done via the REST API only which ArcMap does not support at this time. From Jack's 2011 pre-UC Q&A: How does ArcGIS Server 10.1 improve access to databases? How is ArcGIS Server 10.1 more IT friendly? More information will be available in the ArcGIS 10.1 help documentation, which should be available when ArcGIS 10.1 beta starts. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi there, ... I am trying to understand how to create a feature template and how should I refer it to a map, so that I can create a feature service and use it in my web clients. Do I need ArcMap to refer a map and enable the feature class? Yes, you will need ArcMap to set-up and enable feature templates on your editable data layers in your map document. Then publish your map with the feature service property enabled. Please review the documentation that I referenced in my previous posts. Hope this helps, ... View more

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.
