Is there an efficient way to access the new image services in existing ArcIMS web applications? Thanks.

jim52- The image services will not be directly consumable by web applications. However, they will have a WMS capability so that you can expose them as WMS. You could use the Web ADF to add the WMS service to your ArcIMS web application. Note that WMS is basically just a map image, so you will not get all of the image processing abilities offered by core image services and WCS.

Another thing you could do is add the image service to a map document (.mxd), then publish the .mxd as an ArcGIS Server map service and add it to your ArcIMS application using the Web ADF.

Can the new Image Service be accessed with REST like a Map Service can?

Richard- Yes, the image service can be accessed through the REST API. You can request images in various formats or you can request a KML ground overlay.
