Thanks, Arnd. Those information are great.

August 2011 19:10 An: Richard Greenwood Cc: [email protected] Betreff: RE: [OpenLayers-Users] how to work with ArcGis basemaps Ya, I tried that object. But what I have in question is: can that class be used to bring in imagery base maps from ArcGis? If yes, what are the URL link? I am not talking about data service. This is the data service url that I tried, "http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Specialty/ESRI_S tateCityHighway_USA/MapServer/export" It worked, but again, my intension is to use imagery base map from ArcGIS, not bing map, not google map, but ArGIS imagery maps, I mean any imagery base maps served by ArcGIS. Thanks.

It was very easy to switch from a MapServer source to an ArcGIS source. It kind of reaffirmed why using OpenLayers is so sweet.
