i was referring to the buffer geoprocessing tool in ArcMap (which only accepts one layer with one geometry type at a time).  i'm not sure where/how you're buffering multiple geometry types. ... View more

ah.  NOW i understand what you're going for... 🙂 unfortunately the layers listed in the cached map service are used to support identify requests to the service and not the actual layers displayed in the cartography.  i'm not the definitive source for information on this, but i think we exclusively use meters in our 'world'  topographic basemap.  As an alternative, you might consider using something like our USA topo service (based on USGS topos) instead. ...

perhaps it would be appropriate to mark one of these responses as the "answer"? ... View more

I get an error when loading the url you provided regarding trouble parsing Hgraph.csv, so I wasn't able to test your app, but you should be able to multiply the number returned by the service by 3.28084 to convert to feet in your popup. ... View more

in the thread you mentioned, Kelly was suggesting the use of a proxy that does not store credentials or a token in order to assist in passing an IdentityManager request with dynamic credentials from the client to generate a token. in short.  for IE, you need a proxy, but you don't need the proxy to authenticate on behalf of the end user. does that make things more clear? our most recent proxy can be found here.  you only need to configure it to allow requests to be made to your own ArcGIS Server instance (like below). <serverUrl url="http://yourserver/arcgis/rest/services"                matchAll="true"> </serverUrl> ...

well... since access to Silverlight or Flex is problematic on many mobile devices, you're definitely in the right place. Our JavaScript API is built to speak with ArcGIS Server so you should be able to publish services with SDE data stored in Oracle and go from there. ... View more

based on my experience with buffering in ArcGIS Desktop, i am under the impression that the entire collection of geometries you pass to the buffer operation of the geometry service must share the same geometry type. this means that you'll have to submit your polylines in one request and your polygons in another. ...

the Editor dijit does not have a constructor option to require explicit 'saving' of edits, but you could implement something similar by setting enableUndoRedo to 'true' and specifying a valid UndoManager.  this would provide an alternative technique to allow users to revert an undesirable edit. if you want explicit saving, i am under the impression that you would have to handle the editing yourself using applyEdits on the featureC ...

my understanding is that this is not currently possible, but something the development team is actively working on including in a future release. ... View more

it didn't look like this issue has already been logged, so i submitted [NIM093260: Polygon graphic outline transparency/opacity set in application is overridden in print request.] on your behalf. not sure how crucial it is, but you can certainly consider using esri.setPreRequestCallback() to try and workaround this issue.  check out this forum thread for more info. sorry for the inconvenience. ...

were you able to compare and contrast the webmap json passed by your application and see whether it is supplying an inappropriate alpha value? ... View more

im talking about the web traffic that is generated by your app.  please consider using Fiddler, Firebug or Chrome developer tools to inspect the requests that are fired when your JavaScript application is launched. ... View more

i'm not sure.  what does the web traffic look like?  do you see any failed/garbled requests to the print service? ... View more

alpha value between 0-1 in API is converted in REST request to 0-255.  what happens when you submit my request above to your own ArcGIS Server instance? ... View more
