Hi Aaron,

 

 

Currently, I have a Java program which uses the iControl Library for Java. I can run this program on my desktop to create new virtual servers on a target Big-IP. A couple Big-IPs are behind a firewall where I can't reach them from my desktop, but I can reach them from EM. So, I though it would be possible to recode the program to run from my desktop, point at EM, and then EM would make the change on the remote device. That's how I was interpreting the new iControl Proxy functionality (is that right?). In any case, when I try to use code sample such as these (http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.Java_DCO_EM_proxy.ashx), they don't work because the Java methods used in the sample don't exist in the current Java iControl Assembly (11.1). Is there an iControl Proxy API I can download that contains the necessary updates to the iControl.ManagementEM class?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jonathan
