One year @ APL

Completed one year with Applications Prototype Lab, ESRI. Its been great, got to work on lots of projects, met amazing people and learnt a lot in the process. Here are a few pics of my work place … enjoy!

New sample : GeoIP + ArcGIS – Where Am I

New sample shows how to use the free GeoIP service to find the location and show the lat/lon of the visitor on a map. Here is the link to the sample : http://sathyaprasad.appspot.com/geoip.html

If you go to my homepage http://sathyaprasad.appspot.com you can see how I have used the smaller version of the sample inside of a page using an iframe to locate the website visitors. Feel free to copy the code and use it in your site.

New sample – OpenLayers API + ArcGIS Services

Posted a new sample showing how to consume ArGIS Services (dynamic and cached) using OpenLayers API.

I started the ArcGIS Manager Service to use the Restful Services Directory and to my surprise it did not work. I have installed ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 for a few weeks now and was working fine.

I tried the following url’s:

http://localhost:8399/arcgis/rest – restful services direcoty – did not work

http://localhost:8399/arcgis/services?wsdl – services catalog soap end point – did not work

http://localhost:8399 – directory listing of  ”C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\java\web_output” - did not work Read the rest of this entry »

Installing and running the Custom Rest Service – Mapservice legends sample

I recently saw that there has been lots of discussion on the custom rest service legend sample posted on the code gallery in terms of getting the sample up and running successfully. If you have no clue on what I am talking about, here is the link.

This post should help you get the sample running in no time (almost):

I am using Eclipse (screen-shots show version 3.4/Ganymede, 3.3/Europa should work as well) as my IDE and ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 Java ADF libraries.

1. Download the sample on to the disk:
