A Globe Server class that serves Globe Tiles.
Product Availability
Description
The GlobeServer component provides programmatic access to the contents of a Globe document on disk, and serves globe data tiles of the layers in the 3dd document. GlobeServer is an efficient means of serving globe optimized data for web service access by globe clients.

Remarks
The GlobeServer coclass gives you access to an ArcGIS Globe layer bound to a GlobeServer object. It also allows GlobeServer layers to be queried and identified (via the Find and Identify methods). GlobeServer can be used in desktop or Internet development environments. In a desktop environment, GlobeServer objects can be created in-process within your application. GlobeServer objects are run within ArcGIS for Server.
ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS Engine developers can also consume GlobeServer objects via the Server API. The GlobeServer object always works in a stateless manner. That means, unlike MapServer objects, GlobeServer objects are always exposed as pooled objects, and you can only use them to gain access to finer grained ArcObjects. Note that you will not be able to make permanent changes, as a non-pooled mode of operation is not supported by the GlobeServer objects.
Use GISServerConnection to connect to the GIS server.
The GlobeServer coclass contains several interfaces with basic functions for displaying (IGlobeServer) and querying (IGlobeServer, IGlobeServerObjects, and IGlobeServerSetup) a Globe layer.
