How do I use sessions in Icontrol API using java.

Did you figure this out? I thought it was as simple as setting the session header, but it took me forever to get this to work. The tricky part was finding the right namespace. See the code below:

 

-----

 

SystemSessionBindingStub systemSessionStub1 = new Interfaces(config.host11(), config.user(), config.password()).getSystemSession();

 

Long sessionId1 = systemSessionStub1.get_session_identifier();

 

systemSessionStub1.setHeader("urn:iControl", "session", sessionId1.toString());

 

systemSessionStub1.set_session_timeout(300);

 

systemSessionStub1.set_active_folder("/Common");

 

 

SystemSessionBindingStub systemSessionStub2 = new Interfaces(config.host11(), config.user(), config.password()).getSystemSession();

 

Long sessionId2 = systemSessionStub2.get_session_identifier();

 

systemSessionStub2.setHeader("urn:iControl", "session", sessionId2.toString());

 

systemSessionStub2.set_session_timeout(300);

 

systemSessionStub2.set_active_folder("/Common");

 

 

systemSessionStub1.start_transaction();

 

try {

 

systemSessionStub2.start_transaction();

 

logger.debug("Opened two transactions!");

 

systemSessionStub2.rollback_transaction();

 

} catch (Exception e) {

 

Assert.fail("Couldn't create two transactions at the same time.", e);

 

} finally {

 

systemSessionStub1.rollback_transaction();

 

}

Hopefully this saves someone the wasted time trying to debug this. Perhaps we should move this code near the API documentation?
