An ArcGIS Server instance maintains a list of services and their properties, such as name, type, and folder. The Catalog service enables you to traverse and explore the services exposed by an ArcGIS Server instance. Each instance provides one Catalog service. An ArcGIS Server instance includes the ArcGIS Server Web services application to handle SOAP requests and responses. The application is configured for use in a folder named "services".
You can use the Catalog service to:
Return the message format the instance can use.
Return the folders (virtual directories) exposed by the instance.
Return the ArcGIS Server version for the instance.
Get a list of service descriptions to determine name, type, capabilities and url endpoint.
Determine if a token server is being used for authentication and if so provide the token service URL.
