Enumeration changes
To reflect the product and license name changes at 10.1, changes have been made to the esriLicenseProductcode, esriProductCode, and esriLicenseExtensionCode enumerations. The changes have been made to the enumeration description, which will require developers to make changes to their code when recompiling for 10.1. The value of the enumeration remains the same, so this change does not affect previously compiled applications. It is recommended, however, that all applications be recompiled and fully tested with each release.

Enhancements for server object extensions (SOEs)
At ArcGIS 10.1, the following features were introduced in server object extensions (SOEs):
Deployment workflow
At ArcGIS 10.0, the unit of deployment for Java SOEs was a JAR file. For .NET and C++ SOEs, the deployment units were DLL files. This difference in deployment units required users to use different workflows and tools for registering SOEs as extensions to map services. ArcGIS 10.1 introduces a common deployment unit, called the .soe file. A .soe file is a container that is programming language agnostic. In other words, it holds SOEs written in Java, .NET, and C++. The use of a uniform container to hold SOEs has allowed for a simple and user-friendly deployment experience via ArcGIS Server Manager at version 10.1.
See the Deploying and Un-deploying SOEs topic to learn about the new deployment experience. For more details on how to export an SOE to a .soe file, consult the developer topics for the programming language of your choice. For Java developers, the Developing REST SOEs and Developing SOAP SOEs topics discuss the new Eclipse wizard that facilitates export of Java SOEs.
Support for Custom Property Pages for ArcGIS Manager
Properties allow a server administrator to define how the SOE will behave when deployed on his or her ArcGIS Server site. Such properties could be modified using ArcGIS Server Manager or the Service Editor Dialog box in ArcGIS for Desktop. The default behavior of ArcGIS Server Manager is to display text boxes for editing properties. At ArcGIS 10.1, Manager can display advanced user-defined UI controls to edit the properties of SOEs. Such controls must be developed using the Dojo JavaScript library, then exported to a .soe file.
Support for default collections in REST SOEs
In REST SOEs, a subresource can be a tagged as “collection”. This gives you access to individual elements of a collection of objects via the URL pattern /<collection name>/<collection id> and also facilitates defining/implementing operations for a collection of objects. The operations, in such cases, do not target the whole collection, but individual elements of the collection. For example, for a map service that is accessed via Services Directory, the “Layers” subresource is a collection, and individual layers are elements of this collection. The Query operation is defined on the Layers collection subresource but acts on individual elements of the Layers subresource.
ArcGIS 10.1 for Server introduces the concept of default collections, which allows you to tag a subresource as the “default collection”. The difference between a collection and a default collection is that elements in a default collection can be accessed without naming the collection. Going back to the map service example, “Layers” is now a default collection at ArcGIS 10.1 for Server, and individual layers in a map service can be accessed via the /MapServer/<layer id> URL, as opposed to the /MapServer/layers/<layer id> URL at ArcGIS 10.0.
Deprecations and removals
DefenseSolutions
This assembly is deprecated at 10.1 and will be removed at a later release. Please do not begin any new projects using types in this assembly.
Remote use of ArcObjects (via DCOM)
At 10.1, you can no longer use ArcObjects remotely (via DCOM); this way of interacting with ArcGIS for Server is no longer supported. If you are using GISServerConnection in the Server library or AGSServerConnection in the GISClient library in your code, these need to be removed if you are working with ArcGIS 10.1 for Server.
