I am working on developing a map with a geoprocessing service. I have put something together using the Flex Viewer, but have hit a wall. My GP service returns a point layer. The user can click on an individual result and view the attributes of that point. This all works great. I would like the user to be able to select all or a a subset of the points, though, and view/interact with the attributes in a DataGrid, like ArcMap desktop. There are no existing Flex widgets that can accommodate this functionality. I have not done any Flex programming previously (a little JavaScript, no Silverlight). If I am going to create a custom tool to perform this functionality, my inclination is to do it in JS where I have at least some experience and where inter-platform compatibility issues aren't as severe. So my question is: can this be done. I'm guessing it would involve the building a URL that includes the JobID (obtained from getResultData) and using that URL in the FindTask. Before I start down this road, however, I wanted to ask if anyone has any advice or suggestions. And specifically to confirm that URL built from a GP result (e.g. myserver.com/server/rest/services/project/project_GP_anon/GPServer/GP_tool/jobs/%JOBID%/results/Result -- which is not a MapService per se) can be used as an input to FindTask and thereby create a DataGrid.
Thanks in advance for any help,
