• Setting the layer ID in the layer constructor.

  population = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://myserver/arcgis/rest/population/MapServer/Layers", {id:"population"});
  

• Setting the layer ID after a layer is initialized.

  population.id = "population";

• Retrieving the layer ID.

  function getMapLayers() {
    for (var j=0, jl=myMap.layerIds.length; j<jl; j++) {
      var currentLayer = myMap.getLayer(myMap.layerIds[j]);
      alert("id: " + currentLayer.id);
    }

The layerDefinitions argument is an array of layer definition expressions such as in the code snippet below.

var layerDefinitions = [];
layerDefinitions[0] = "POPULATION > 5000000";
layerDefinitions[5] = "AREA > 100000";
dynamicMapServiceLayer.setLayerDefinitions(layerDefinitions);

var layerDrawingOptions = [];
var layerDrawingOption = new esri.layers.LayerDrawingOptions();

layerDrawingOption.renderer = new esri.renderer.SimpleRenderer(mySymbol);

layerDrawingOptions[1] = layerDrawingOption;
dynamicData.setLayerDrawingOptions(layerDrawingOptions);

layer.setOpacity(0.5);

var inputs = dojo.query(".list_item"), input;

visible = [];

for (var i=0, il=inputs.length; i< il; i++) {

  if (inputs[i].checked) {

    visible.push(inputs[i].id);

  }

}

layer.setVisibleLayers(visible);
