The Custom Image Server Raster Format is a simple but powerful server-side extension mechanism that allows developers to leverage the flexibility and scalability of the ArcGIS Server platform onto many problem-specific workflows. LizardTech (LT) recently implemented one of these. The latest revision of LTs widely distributed free plug-in for ArcGIS uses this technique to extend support for the newest generation of ArcGIS Server. Our application allows our customers high-performance access to their LT Express Server-based JP2 and MrSID images directly from ArcGIS Server. Our presentation will describe the impetus for the project and our subsequent implementation experience. We will describe the coding of the FormatCorePlugin callbacks, related installation/ configuration issues, and overall results.
