I am searching for any examples of implementing a logic that Esri has built with geoprocessing services. You author a custom tool or it can be a system tool >> you publish it exposing this functionality as a web service >> you consume the web service with a client.
A classical simple example: user can click on the map to create a point > the coordinates are sent to the server > buffering operation is being executed at the back-end > the buffer zone feature (or just an image) is sent back to client and shown on the map canvas. I've been developing Esri GP services for last 3 years and it has been a nice experience specifically since version 10.1.
Are there any examples of the open source system/solution that one could use to build a similar logic?
I've googled and found sextante gis but there was nothing specific on how this works and how much of logic that is available through Esri is available. 52North also seem to be working on that, but again I am missing the clean explanation of the concept.
