multii-dimension array SOAPException

Ouch. If using WS-SOAP, that appears to drasticly limit the number of usable APIs.

 

 

I'm a neophyte to both web services and to iControl. I've been tasked with enhancing an existing administratin web app to provide the functionality to control BigIP nodes. The app currently uses an IBM supplied SOAP api to talk to the WebSphere app server dmgr process.

 

I strongly fear that the app will not play well with AXIS when running in a WebSphere App Server v5.1.1.2.

 

 

My early success with the SOAP API led me to think this would be a POC. Now I'm scared and alone. :-)

 

 

I need to be able to do the following and had planned on using these SOAP APIs:

 

Given vip, obtain pool name.

 

LocalLB.VirtualServer.get_default_pool_name

 

Given pool name, obtain list of node names

 

LocalLB.Pool.get_member

 

Determine if a node is enabled/disabled

 

LocalLB.NodeAddress.get_session_enabled_state

 

Determine if a node is up/down

 

LocalLB.NodeAddress.get_monitor_status (tells if it is up or down)

 

Enable/Disable new sessions to a node

 

LocalLB.NodeAddress.set_session_enabled_state

 

Enable/Disable connections to a node. (Force down)

 

LocalLB.NodeAddress.set_monitor_state

 

 

 

Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

(I will begin to determine if AXIS is an option in my situation)
