get_availability() and get_state()?

get_availability and get_state method exists in iControl-4.5\iControl-4.5\sdk\support\java\ITCM\lib\ITCM.jar file, which is for CORBA.     I couldn't find any get_availability and get_state...

As you noticed, the CORBA method bindings in the file sdk/support/java/ITCM/lib/ITCM.jar. CORBA is a tightly coupled language where you need strong bindings on the client and the server. SOAP, on the other had, is very loosely coupled. The method signatures are defined in the WSDL description files(sdk/support/wsdl) and depending on your client language, there may or may not be bindings for them created to help the toolset. Perl and Apache SOAP do not use client bindings while VS.NET does. It's up to the toolset to generate those bindings from the WSDL documents.

 

 

You'll be able to find reference applications for the ITCMLocalLB::get_state() method in the LocalLBNode sample application included in the following directories of the SDK:

 

 

/sdk/support/SOAP/perl/LocalLB/

 

/sdk/support/SOAP/java/LocalLB/

 

/sdk/support/SOAP/DOTNET/C/console/LocalLB/LocalLBNode/

 

/sdk/support/SOAP/DOTNET/VB/console/LocalLB/LocalLBNode/
