Odd request

In my hard-headed attempt to implement an iControl framework in python (perl gives me headaches and java is on the to-do list) I have run into a minor difficulty.

 

 

In implementing the ITCMGlobalLB.Wideip.add_pool_virtual_server method, I can't seem to get my structures correct. I get :

 

 

xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

 

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

 

xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

 

 

 

xsi:type="xsd:string">SOAPException : &Could not find element by name: addr&

 

xsi:type="xsd:string">SOAP-ENV:Server

 

 

 

 

 

What I could really use is a dump of the XML that is sent for a correctly formatted request. If you want, I can post my incorrect XML dump.

    I'm sorry but I can't help you with Python, but I can get you the SOAP Request:

     

     

    struct VirtualServerAttribute {  
      IPPortDefinition source,  
      IPPortDefinition translated,  
      IPPortDefinition [] depends,  
      long ratio,  
      EnableStatus status,  
      StatColor state  
  };  
    
  void ITCMGlobal::Wideip::add_pool_virtual_server(  
      in String wideip_name,  
      in String pool_name,  
      in VirtualServerAttribute vs  
  );

     

     

    If invoking the following code (from C):

     

     

    ITCMGlobalLBVirtualServerAttribute vsAttr = new ITCMGlobalLBVirtualServerAttribute();  
  vsAttr.source = new ITCMGlobalLBIPPortDefinition();  
  vsAttr.source.addr = "10.10.10.10";  
  vsAttr.source.port = 80;  
  vsAttr.translated = new ITCMGlobalLBIPPortDefinition();  
  vsAttr.translated.addr = "20.20.20.20";  
  vsAttr.translated.port = 80;  
  vsAttr.depends = new ITCMGlobalLBIPPortDefinition[0];  
  vsAttr.ratio = 1;  
  vsAttr.status = 0;  
  vsAttr.state = 0;  
  iWideip.add_pool_virtual_server(sWideip,sPool, vsAttr);

     

     

    It will produce the following SOAPRequest:

     

     

      
    xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"  
  xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"  
  xmlns:tns="urn:iControl"  
  xmlns:types="urn:iControl/encodedTypes"  
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">  
    soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">  
    
  my_wideip  
  my_pool  
    
    
    
  1  
  0  
  0  
    
    
    
    
    
    
  80  
  20.20.20.20  
    
    
  80  
  10.10.10.10

     

     

    You may have to move around those idrefs to make sense of this.

     

     

    Hope this helps...
