Add dynamic data based on client's action

[RamakrishnanDurairajan]

Hello,

I am new to ArcGIS. I'm posting here to brainstorm ideas and check if my requirement is possible.

Here is my scenario: I have a set of files that contains the data in the server. I also have a webpage that lists the availability of data that can plotted on the ArcMap (which will be hosted using ArcServer). The webpage also has some fields to prune the data. The user clicks one of the names of the files and this request should go the server and I need to prune out some data in that file based on the fields. This will give out latitude/longitude values. I should then plot the data on a map that is hosted in the server dynamically. Is this possible? If yes, could you give some pointers and examples?

Thanks in advance!

in 10.1 you can use dynamic layer:
-find data from registered workspace and use query layer
-add to the map on a per-request basis

Thanks for the reply. It's exactly what I was looking for. In this example, can we upload XY data and draw lines? Can you please explain. Thanks in advance!
