i'm having this exact same problem; not being able to view footprints in JS api through reverse proxy. Did you ever find the problem? ... View more

thanks Jake, that makes sense, but I have a few more clarification q's: 1. setup 2 folders inside server root, folderA-view role, folderB-edit role 2. publish a map service into folderA, no feature access 3. put the same map service into folderB, but enable feature access All users in edit role will be able to make local copy of feature data, edit it, then synchronize changes with server? Data that I add to the map, prior to publishing...does it need to be data from an SDE gdb? If so, I assume the sql-server instance would not necessarily need to be open to the internet for direct-editing as described in my 1st post? thanks!! ... View more

any way to define a query for a shapefile that's been uploaded to the webmap? ... View more

hey mike- thanks again for your help! For a webapp newbie, it can get quite confusing, but the SW user conf. really summed things up: 1. Flex/Silverlight web viewer apps are free to download, they enable you to configure a custom website viewer in the language of your choosing. -the viewer connects to SERVICES only, so, you either have to use freely provided data/imagery services from ArcGIS online, OR have an installation of ArcGIS for Server 2. You can also create a basic map using the ArcGIS explorer or web viewer via ArcGIS Online. There is one slight advantage to using ArcGIS Online; you can upload .zipped shapefiles to your map. Otherwise, ArcGIS for Server is required. 3. If your not liking the ArcGIS Explorer or web view maps from ArcGIS online, you can create the share button while on the map, and use a template. This template can be downloaded to your local server and hosted, OR can remain on ArcGIS Online. ... View more

i think i found out why I wasn't able to access my arcgis.com webmap from a template on our local webserver....yesterday at the esri SWUG I found out that only silverlight viewers have the ability to login to esri global acct, to access private web maps. how...i'm going to a tech. workshop today on silverlight to find out! thanks again Mike! ...

hi mike- As far as I could tell, the 8th post in that thread just refers to access secure (https) arcgis-server services, not private services on ArcGIS online. ... View more

thanks mike. However, i'm not connecting to any secure ArcGIS Server services, I just added all layers to the map via .zip shapefile. I'm trying to connect to the Arcgis.com map that i have saved, (shared with a private group) from a custom template I have on our webserver. I understand this is accomplished with tokens but i'm not able to get it to work. ... View more

any update on this? I have a non-public map saved on arcgis.com. i generated a token using the following url: https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/generateToken?f=json&request=gettoken&username=MYUSERNAME&password=MYPASSWORD&Referer=MYUSERNAME token = ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt I then found the ItemID of my non-public map. ItemID = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I am able to view the json using this url: http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/content/items/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/data?f=pjson&token=ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt I downloaded the chrome legend map template from here and installed it on our webserver: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=c9f1750f9b9f496ca7df16fa31870145 I can view the default webmap when pointing to our webserver's URL. If I open the template .html file and alter the webmap setting, to point to a different, publicly available map, it works great. However, when I alter the webmap setting in the .html to the following: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/data?f=pjson&token=ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt I get a login box, of which i enter my arcgis.com username/password, (same that was used to generate the token) and it just says 'username/password invalid' any ideas?? thanks! ...

thanks! confirmed. If I create a new feat. dataset with smaller tolerance, (0.0000000089 degrees) then import the feat. classes, no self intersections are found. Too bad you can't set tolerances; going to have to recreate thousands of feat. datasets; then import the feat. classes. ... View more

more info.... If I create a new feat. dataset, then import the feat. class that contains self intersections, and re-run check geometry; no errors are reported! Could someone explain? ... View more

thanks Jake. Yeah, unfortunately, most of the feat. classes I need to check are polygons ... View more
