GIS Web Development at DWR Using ArcGIS Server and Adobe Flex
ArcGIS Server
• ArcGIS Server (AGS) web-enables GIS mapping and functionality in the form of Services
• AGS can create out-of-the-box GIS web applications – the WebADF
• All other ESRI web applications types use AGS services but are developed outside of AGS (including any customized AGS WebADF site)
Web Application Architectures using AGS ServicesREST APIs: Flex, Javascript, Silverlight ADFs: .NET, and Java
Flex API – The Sample Flex ViewerOfferings: Communications framework, Out-of-the-box functionality through Widgets, Development framework for new Widgets, Pre-styled interface and interface framework, ESRI Map Services
Flex API – The Sample Flex Viewer Framework
User-created widgets plug right in, if available
Incorporation of ESRI or user-created stand-alone samples requires programming knowledge
Flex API – ESRI Stand Alone Samples
•Good selection of ESRI and User-created samples •Need to use samples from the most current Flex API (1.3 → 2.0 → 2.1)
•Integration into the SFV requires familiarity with an IDE, the SFV framework, the current Flex API and the Adobe Flex MXML and ActionScript languages
Web Application Security
• Can Protect Via:
• Reverse Proxy Server
• Authentication at Web Server (IIS)
• Adobe Website Security
• AGS Service Security
• SDE Layer Security
