Any ideas?

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: <?xml version="1.0" ?><!--Copyright (c) 1996-2012, F5 Networks, Inc., Seattl - Pastebin.com

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.
