Bringing in a service twice

[KennethRichards]

Is there a way to bring a service in twice? I am bringing in my service once as a featurelayer. This is where I do most of the work with my map but I also want to run a FindTask on the same service.

findTask = new esri.tasks.FindTask(wellFeatureLayer);  findTask = new esri.tasks.FindTask("http://services.azgs.az.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/....");  wellFeatureLayer = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer("http://services.azgs.az.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/...",{         mode: esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND, //data on demand         infoTemplate: infoTemplate,         outFields: ["*"]       });

I have tried bringing in the service both ways at the same time and that gives me a domain error. I also tried passing the the wellFeatureLayer  variable to the find task. That just gives me an undefined path error.

The find task expects the url to the map server instead of to a feature layer. For example if I wanted to use the Find Task I'd supply this url:

http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Military/MapServer


And if I wanted to add a feature layer from that map service I'd do something like this where I'd add the index of the layer.

http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Military/MapServer/0

I guess I should read over the API Reference a little more carefully next time. 🙂
Thanks for the help. That seems to have solved the problem.
