get_availability() and get_state()?

Apache SOAP is not strongly bound on the client. It relies on attrbutes to the "Call" object to set method names. As I mentioned in my last message, the LocalLBNode.java file contains a reference to the "get_state()" method. This sample used a wrapper method to retrieve attributes of the Node.

The getProperty method in this class is overloaded to call mulitple property accessors. Look in the method for getNodeState for the line this.getProperty("state", Integer.class);

I'm not too happy with the format of this sample application because it's use of overloading the property method makes it a bit more difficult to read. I'm going to look into making this application a bit more uniform like the other ones. In the meantime, here is a snippet of how to use the get_state() method:

. 
 . 
 . 
 Call call; 
 Vector params = new Vector(); 
 URL urii; 
 String uri_ns; 
 IPPortDefinition nodeDef = new IPPortDefinition("10.10.10.10", 80); 
  
 uri = new URL("https://bigip_address/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi"); 
 uri_ns = new String("urn:iControl:ITCMLocalLB/Node"); 
  
 // Set Call Attributes 
 params.addElement(new Parameter("node_def", IPPortDefinition.class, nodeDef, null)); 
 call.setParams(params); 
  
 call.setMethodName("get_state"); 
  
 // Invoke Method 
 Response soapResponse = call.invoke(uri, uri_ns); 
  
 // Extract Results 
 Integer result = (Integer)soapResponse.getReturnValue().getValue(); 
 if ( 1 == result.longValue() ) 
 { 
     System.out.println("State : ENABLED\n"); 
 } 
 else if ( 0 == result.logValue() ) 
 { 
     System.out.println("State : DISABLED\n"); 
 } 
 . 
 . 
 . 
 

Hope this helps..
