New Sample : Swipe Tool

It’s been  a while since my last blog post thanks to Twitter.  This week I posted a new sample on the JavaScript Code Gallery (http://bit.ly/swipetool) called “Swipe Tool”. As the name suggests its a swipe tool and if you are familiar with ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Explorer you know what this means, for other its a way to see what underneath a layer. Can be used as a good comparison tool.

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.

Here’s a wierd one – Address already in use

Today I encounterd a strange error-

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
