    That's an odd error. What version of LTM are you attempting to connect to? Can you open the WSDL with a browser:

     

     

    https://bigip/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi?WSDL=LocalLB.Monitor

     

     

    Also, could you post your initialization code for your iControl.Interfaces object? The error message stating "Serving-127.0.0.1:40136" doesn't look like you are connecting to an LTM, but rather to localhost.

    Hi Joe,

     

     

    I work with Ariel and will be also following this issue. Here is the WSDL you asked: http://pastebin.com/QbpB0jfM

     

     

    The initialization code is this (we don't do much):

     

    Interfaces interfaces = new iCon trol.Interfaces();

     

    interfaces.initialize(, , );

     

    interfaces.getLocalLBMonitor().get_template_list(); // this fails

     

     

    Regarding the 127.0.0.1 address, that appears because Ariel took the information from one of our logs, and our application was serving an internal client. We connect to a real LTM. Indeed, there are only two methods that fail (the other is LocalLBPool.get_all_member_statistics()), the rest work normally.

     

     

    Regards.
