NimbostratusError while generating clien stubs using axis wsdl2java
I was trying to generate java class from webservices but it keeps complaining about soapenc array. Need help. I need icontrol.jar (java version) if anyone has it.

The issue you are seeing is with Axis2. At this point we are not compatible with Axis2 so you'll have to revert back to Axis1 to use this library. The reason is that the Axis2 folks decided not to support rpc/encoded as an encoding method and thus our array formats are not compatible. Our WSDL definitions are going on 6 years old and for us to revamp the way we are encoding would be a significant development effort and it would break existing client applications.
If you need the prerequisite libraries for Axis1, I've bundled them up in this zip file:http://devcentral.f5.com/LinkClick.aspx?link=http%3a%2f%2fdevcentral.f5.com%2fdownloads%2fiControl%2fiControlJavaLibs.zip&tabid=73&mid=656

Keep in mind that we don't support these 3rd party libraries but are making them available for you if you can't get a working copy yourself.
I understand the arguments for doc/lit vs. rpc/enc and WS-I's decision to support doc/lit but it hurts interfaces like ours that have been around awhile.

f5TechieAA_7448Thanks Joe for the binaries. I am running into this error while executing the code.
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file"
1)Which JDK/JRE did you use to generate the stubs and compile the classes?
2) Can I get the *.java classes generated from WSDL? This will help me in troubleshooting without worrying about the JRE version.
I appreciate for your help in this regard.- That library was built with 1.6. Here's a build with 1.5.

Let me know if you still need the sources and I'll see if I can get them packaged up and uploaded.
