I'm planning a new deployment of ArcGIS Server and I want to avoid using ArcSDE if possible. My vendor requires that we store our spatial data in Oracle and we prefer to use Microsoft server technologies whenever possible.
Our ideal environment is to host ArcGIS Server on Windows Server and expose the REST services over IIS.
Can the .Net version of ArcGIS Server expose Oracle spatial data without ArcSDE or is this limited to the Java version?
