Hi,

That's the way to declare the layer:

    esriSat = new OpenLayers.Layer.ArcGIS93Rest("ESRI Satellite",
 
"http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer
/export?f=image",
        {   layers :'show:0'
        },
        {   isBaseLayer:false,
            attribution:"ESRI Satellite",
            opacity:1,
            visibility:true
        });

The shortent url
http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer
shows the capabilities of the service.

Ya,  I tried that object.  But what I have in question is: can that class be used to bring in imagery base maps from ArcGis? 

If yes, what are the URL link? 

I am not talking about data service.

This is the data service url that I tried, "http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Specialty/ESRI_S
tateCityHighway_USA/MapServer/export"
It worked, but again, my intension is to use imagery base map from ArcGIS, not bing map, not google map, but ArGIS imagery maps, I mean any imagery base maps served by ArcGIS.

Thanks.

JK

I'm not an ArcGIS guy but I was recently faced with the same request and I found that the OL layer type  "OpenLayers.Layer.ArcGIS93Rest"
worked flawlessly. It was very easy to switch from a MapServer source to an ArcGIS source. It kind of reaffirmed why using OpenLayers is so sweet.
