Functionality Question - Embedding ESRI ArcPad functionality into Apex 3.1
634756
Member Posts: 10
Hi,
I am investigating the potential to develop a mobile field data collection application in Apex 3.1 Oracle 10g database
The system needs to provide GIS and GPS functionality (we will be using ESRI ArcPad to deliver this) and will capture primarily textural data about the maintenance work completed on an asset (proposing to use an Apex Application).
I have found a white paper on creating a region in Apex with the Google Earth API - my question is:
Can we create code (in JavaScript? or other language?) to either
a. launch the ArcPad application feeding it certain parameters (i.e. spatial feature to focus map on)
- or -
b. is it possible to embed the ArcPad apm file (AcrPad map) within the Apex form maintaining full ArcPad editing functionality
Can this be done, do you see that this would be difficult to achieve. Or has anyone done this that can help.
Any assistance / guidance is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hello,
I don't have that much experience with Arcpad, however a quick search found this -
http://events.esri.com/uc/QandA/index.cfm?ConferenceID=51AD3E9D-D566-ED85-AEE0DBF4F59C45FD
which suggests that you can use Javascript API's to control Arcpad to a degree (although by how much I don't know).
If what you've asked isn't possible, then I would imagine that they should be working on it as a priority as in todays 'Web 2.0' environment it seems like a pretty common requirement (and many of their competitors certainly allow control like that).
Hope this helps,
John.
