Another thing I tried was un-installing the ArcGIS Server, deleting the C:\arcgisserver directory then re-installing the ArcGIS Server, but it still fails to start the java processes. The server itself starts. There are no error reports and the logs are empty under C:\arcgisserver\logs ... View more

I checked the Windows event logs and there was nothing useful in there. It gives two information log entries that provide the following message: <quote> The description for Event ID 5 from source ArcGIS Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: ArcGIS Server The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file </quote> So I am none the wiser. ... View more

Thanks Ravi, I am currently building a set of queries and I shall try this. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers, Chris ... View more

For everyone's interest, I solved this semi-automatically;) by adding the wkid of our map to the map attributes and then invoking the ArcGIS Server geometry service to project the extent corner points to the map's spatial reference. This seems to work satisfactorily. Thanks to those who took the trouble to respond! Cheers, Chris Mugdan ... View more

Yes, that's it. We have our own widgets that invoke functions on our product that adds its layers over the top of the underlying ArcGIS Server base layers. The viewer combines the output of our product (as an overlay) with the customer's map layers in this way, and those layers may not be in Web Mercator projection. I have added a couple of classes in the main code base to talk to our WMS server and I have slightly modified the MapManager to handle our type of optional layer. Maybe we are asking too much of the product in what we are trying to do? Cheers, Chris ... View more

Hi Robert, Thanks for the detailed response. My problem is that, if someone who uses our modified Flex Viewer is using maps with a different coordinate system that we do not know about in advance then from what you are saying, inside the Flex Viewer we cannot automatically transform the extent coordinates that we compute in our application (which are WEGS84) and pass in via substitution to the map's coordinate system. If I could interrogate the map's coordinate system then I presume I could use the geometry operations to transform the points, but I cannot see how to get at the map's coordinate system. It seems to be null (uin the Flash debugger), even after the base layers are added. I guess it is too late then anyway. If none of the above is possible then I suppose I am restricted to the Web projection by modifying the setting of iextent in the MapManager as follows:       var wmextent:WebMercatorExtent = new WebMercatorExtent(Number(iextArray[0]), Number(iextArray[1]), Number(iextArray[2]), Number(iextArray[3]));       iextent = wmextent.extent; This is what I have been doing as a workaround initially, but what I need is a more robust solution.

Hi Robert, The initial extent coordinates that we put into the config.xml are determined in our product in WGS84 and they do not know what coordinate system the underlying ArcGIS Server layers are. I was hoping at least to be able to find out what coordinate system the base layers were in so I could transform the extent coordinates to the base layer (map) coordinates from our WGS84 coordinates. I take it that setting the extent coordinate system to WGS84 with the coordinates from our application and then passing that to the map will not work? I tried that and it did not seem to work, but maybe I did not do it correctly. Here is what I did: ... iextent = new Extent(Number(iextArray[0]), Number(iextArray[1]), Number(iextArray[2]),                              Number(iextArray[3])); ... iextent.spatialReference = new SpatialReference(4326); ... map.extent = iextent; Cheers, Chris ...

Solved! By refreshing the appropriate layer. ... View more
