You will find the SOAP requirements for iControl will make you have to be careful about which jars you use.

 

 

Check this out:

 

 

https://github.com/jgruber/iControl

 

 

It uses Maven2 to pull the appropriate jars from their owner's submittions to public repositories and then shade them in one (pretty big) iControl.jar. There is a BigIP object which will abstract some things for you as well. The catch is it builds everything under Maven on the fly. It will require you to change the initial pom.xml file to point it at a BigIP which is hosting the required versions of the iControl WSDLs for the build process. So you will get your version of iControl... not possible an older one.

 

 

It's management code verses downloading static jars.
