Link - ArcIMS & AJAX
Well, now that everyone and their mother has seen Googlemaps, all I keep hear from my clients is “can you make it pan like googlemaps?”. To be honest, I had thought about doing something exactly like it several years back, but dismissed the idea thinking no one would really want that anyway. Boy, was I wrong.
Jason over at ROK Technologies wants to know if anyone is currently using AJAX with ArcIMS (or ArcGIS Server). We’ve started moving that way with our latest ArcIMS project using AJAX.NET, but we haven’t really progressed far (a little MapObjects project took up some time over the past month). I’m also not really interested in spending too much time developing my own AJAX ArcIMS site since the new ADF with 9.2 should make this all much simpler.

We’ve cooked up a .NET server control that uses Ajax to communicate with the back end ASP.NET application, which in turn uses our .NET connector for ArcIMS. It was a bummer to hear that 9.2 is going to make this obsolete. Anyhow, we don’t have it up on any public sites, but we do have a very beta site (http://klc.sanborn.com) using Ajax with an OGC compliant library we built on top of Carbon Tools. It’s VERY limited at this time (don’t even think of using Firefox!), but it has some neat features - it loads each layer into it’s own div, so when you change visibility on a layer - it happens NOW. Anyhow, I’ll be blogging more about this next week (after the demo to our client!)

I developed an Ajax/.NET IMS tool, but it doesn’t do the GM panning. Instead, the javascript on the client constructs a URL to a web service. The web service takes the URL variables and gets the map from IMS. Performance is excellent. The code can be found in the ESRI IMS forums here:

This functionality will be “out of the box” in 9.2 Web ADF. IMS is very fast with the game-style navigation and seamless pan in the new Controls.

Believe me Art, we are all looking forward to the ArcIMS/Server beta.

Cool. BTW, the Web ADF will support all ESRI servers not just IMS… just blogged a bit on it this morning.

Yep, that’s why I put ArcIMS/Server in my comment.
Is the better way to say ArcGIS Server/IMS? You know what, just merge the two into one product. That would make all our lives so much easier.

Hy,
I have started an integration project of ICEfaces and Esri WebADF componnets . ICEfaces is open-source and provides fully ajax-enabled components.No javascript, no xml to code!
In my work I created ICEfaces compatibles JSF-renderer for the a:context, a:map, a:tool, a:command, a:task and a:toc.
For building now webapplications, you just have to code your logic in Java and to publish it with JSF-components. You don’t need to do code in Javascript.
I have provided a guide and a fully working demo on this page:

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
