Track: Web and Server
Authors: Dean Chiang

The California Department of Fish and Game has been developing a number of web map viewers on ArcGIS Server technology using the JavaScript API, all of which uses the same code base that can be configured to target very different project needs and make available map data and Table of Contents controls in very different ways. We will present how we have implement some sophisticated components for the the map viewers and atypical use cases of map services, including a dynamic TOC with customizable behavior and controls, scale dependent symbology and annotation for the same layer, search functionality for hundreds of data layers, direct access and display of full, live SDE metadata, saving and restoring the whole application state with advanced bookmarks, dynamically applying all tools to any dataset, and presenting combination of feature types and other unusual techniques with group layers.
