All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m really after the idea of an ESRI server being able to read it’s own type of formatted service (from an OPEN server software stack). They are supposed to be able to read each others services right now. We’ve had the ability to read the REST
services for a while now. The REST stuff has seemed to settle out as the most robust way to pull data from. I would like to be able to go the other way and be able to offer up in the same way.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m seeing more and more commercial software extenders going the route of using the REST API approach to integration. So it’s seems like a logical thing to research for mimicking.<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Just thinking out loud on this right now.</div>
