Using ArcWeb Services to plot addresses

Using ArcWeb Services to Plot Addresses

Crossroads ArcWeb Example Slowly but surely ArcWeb is beginning to filter out into the world. Check out this web developer for Crossroads Community Church plotting addresses on an ArcWeb map using the REST API.

It is good to see people starting to blog about using Public ArcWeb Services.

James,

ArcWeb is very cool.

I’m using Perl and had some difficulty in getting SOAP::Lite to work with the 2006 version of ArcWeb (which is why is used REST). I found some much simpler tutorials for the previous version of ArcWeb before it went to document/literal encoding. SOAP::Lite doesn’t have very good support for document/literal.

Do you have any pointers or samples of code to help in this area?

Thanks.

Yea SOAP::Lite is very weak, but Andrea Rosso has had some luck with his “demo” on the new ArcWeb 2006.

I was just about to write the exact same thing that av8tor wrote.

I’ll add that Andrea’s stuff is probably the best on 2006 as only he has posted on it. I will say that Andrea is on the ArcWeb team so he’s a good resource to bookmark.

Thanks. That’s a great pointer. I had looked at Andrea’s blog a couple weeks ago and there was nothing about 2006. Now there is. This helps a lot. Hopefully the SOAP::Lite people will get on the ball.

ArcWeb is cool.

Mapdex has been using the Public ArcWeb Services geocoding service since September 2005.

We also have used it with some sample test applications in conjuction with Google Maps.

Brian,

Let us know how it goes and post anything you learn. We are all trying to get our hands around the new ArcWeb 2006.

It’s going really well. I’ll release my code eventually. I’ll probably make some sort of ArcWeb Perl package.

At this point one thing that would be really handy is a smaller icon. The ball_red.gif icon is the smallest I could find. With as many points as I’m using, I could use a smaller one.

Have you looked at using one of the ArcWeb:ESRI.Simple.Icons and setting the color with MarkerDesc:color and MarkerDesc:size? You can use them if you are using SOAP.

That’s awesome! Just what I needed. Thanks.
