Thanks for the update. Its looks good for my requirement. And having a clarification on the icontrol.jar. If i have icontrol.jar with version 11.0, will it have the compatibility to work in all the version of BIG IP series devices(like backward compatibility) or do i need to have the jar respective of my F5 BIG IP device version.
Note: I am having different version of BIG IP F5 devices and wanted to have single point of logic should work across all the flavors.
Thanks in advance and your help is really appriciated.

Can any one guide me here.
Thanks is advance.
There are a lot changes between version 9.x 10. an 11.x
You should write an icontrol script that check f5 version and then use the appropriate command.
For every icontrol interface you can find for which version is available. Look this for an example: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.LocalLB__NATV2.ashx
