The Locator classes are Apache Axis specific client proxy code. For a given interface, let's say LocalLB.Class there are several classes made

 

 

LocalLBClass

 

LocalLBClassLocator

 

LocalLBClassBindingStub

 

LocalLBClassPortType

 

 

The easiest way to navigate through this is to use the iControl library for Java and use the iControl.Interfaces get* methods. It returns a PortType object with all the methods in the associated interfaces in the SDK. You would do something like this for LocalLB.Class

 

 

iControl.Interfaces interfaces = new iControl.Interfaces(); 
 if (interfaces.initialize(bigip, (long)443, username, password) ) { 
   iControl.LocalLBClassPortType oClass = interfaces.getLocalLBClass(); 
   String [] string_class_list = oClass.get_string_class_list(); 
   ... 
 }

 

 

From then on, you can reference the SDK and access any methods in the Class interface via this "oClass" object.

 

 

I haven't done much with Java for a long time now, but I'd be glad to help out if you have any other specific questions.
