Remarks

Server objects may have extensions that extend their base functionality for more specialized uses. Each type of server object may have a set of extensions that can be enabled or disabled based on its configuration. ArcGIS for Server includes some server object extensions out of the box, and developers can extend ArcGIS for Server by writing their own server object extensions.

Server object extensions also have SOAP interfaces for handling SOAP requests to execute methods and returning results as SOAP responses. This support for SOAP request handling makes it possible to expose server object extensions as web services that can be consumed by clients across the Internet.

IServerObjectExtensionManager is an interface supported by all server objects. Once you have a reference to a server object, you can use the methods on IServerObjectExtensionManager to find enabled extensions either by name (FindExtensionByName) or by CLSID (FindExtensionByCLSID). Once you have a reference to the server object extension, you can QI for any of its interfaces.
