can F5 support RMI

RMI is TCP based so there's no reason it can't using iRules. What features are you actually looking for?

for what i read on another post dev central it can't be supported>

Java RMI uses a Java specific method of network serialization, or else CORBA IIOP, to marshal object on the wire. iControl is a SOAP HTTP service. That means it uses SOAP XML messages inside HTTP POST requests as defined by the iControl WSDLs. The iControl service on the Big-IP devices isn't written in Java and doesn't support IIOP, so the answer is no.

 

 

Thx

 

OK, so to clarify for my and other's benefit, you wish to use RMI to control the BIG-IP or you wish to load balance RMI traffic?
