GTM Load Balancing using iControl & iControlIntermediary

Hello again!

This is a sample method that returns a boolean based on a status of a pool member (it's very rough -- almost no error checking is done here, so it's not something you'd want to use in PRD, but it's just a sample I wanted to share, since I can't find many java examples on this website, especially utilizing GlobalLB):

  
 /** 
  * 1. Retrieves the WideIP  
  * 2. Gets the WideIP's pool name (There could be 
  * more than one pool, but that's improbable here  
  * 3. Retrieves the pool 
  * member information for this one particular pool  
  * 4. Checks whether the 
  * pool member is enabled/disabled 
  *  
  * @param aInterfaces 
  * @param aWideIp 
  * @param aPoolMember 
  * @return 
  * @throws RemoteException 
  * @throws Exception 
  */ 
 public static boolean isPoolMemberEnabled(Interfaces aInterfaces, 
 String aWideIp, String aPoolMember) throws RemoteException, 
 Exception { 
  
 String poolName = null; 
  
 GlobalLBWideIPBindingStub wideIpStub = aInterfaces.getGlobalLBWideIP(); 
  
 String wideIpArr[] = { aWideIp }; // Need to make this into an array 
  
 /* 
  * Check to see if the WideIp is enabled or disabled If the WideIp is 
  * disabled we can't check the status of the farm, so an exception is 
  * thrown. 
  */ 
 CommonEnabledState enabled[] = wideIpStub.get_enabled_state(wideIpArr); 
 if (!CommonEnabledState._STATE_ENABLED.equals(enabled[0].getValue())) { 
 throw new Exception( 
 "The WideIp " 
 + aWideIp 
 + " is not enabled. Cannot check the status of the pool members"); 
 } 
  
 // Get an array of wide ips, specifically the one in question
