Feb 21, 2008SNMPConfiguration.set_readonly_community call complains about no deserializer
Hi All,
This is my first time posting, so hopefully I'm not asking anything too dumb. I am trying to write a simple of proof of concept piece of code to simply set the SNMP readonly string ...

Feb 22, 2008Hi Joe,
Thank you for the very detailed response. I'm not actually using Axis anywhere. The reference to Axis you cite above was returned as part of a SOAP fault message (i.e. from the F5). The F5 does not like the way I'm structuring my request, and I think we've gone off in the woods deeper than I really wanted to go.
We have two other vendors that present API's exposed via web services, and I've had a fair amount of success in coding against them. Some methods these vendors support require very complex arguments, and I was able to work through them. I was just surprised to be stumped by F5's set_readonly_community method that wants a very straightforward argument.
I'll try your advice to use the iControl library as it might save me time in the long run. I was reluctant to do so because I have multiple vendors to support and learning each of their respective SDK's was a more time than I wanted to put in. I'm accustomed to glancing over the WSDL's and coding based on that.
The fact that F5 provides an accessible, well-documented API and an active developer forum really speaks alot about the quality of this product. I'm glad my company made the investment in F5 and I am really looking forward to working with our BIG-IP's.
Thanks again!
