Javascript API versions

[BetsySchenck-Gardner]

Hoping this isn't too stupid a question, but if I upgrade my ArcGIS Server to 10.1, can I still use the 2.8 API or do I have to upgrade to 3.2?  There are some functions in 10.1 I want to use, but the API reference document isn't too specific on whether you need to go the higher API version.  Some of the documentation will say Requires ArcGIS Server service version 10.1 or greater (As of v2.6)  and I'm hoping that means I could use 2.6 API or higher to use the function.  TIA.

Hi

As long as the functions you require do not state that it requires a certain version of ArcGIS Server you can use any API version, you will just loose the new functionality the new version brought.

What's stopping you from upgrading to 3.2?

We recommend that you use at least 3.0 (but preferably 3.2 as that's the most recent release) if you're going to use new ArcGIS Server 10.1 functionality.
