where is the javadoc

Hello,

 

 

I've been searching a while on devcentral to find out more about iControl. I would like to try using it. The examples of the iContalAssembly_11 is working great, but I have a hard time finding out where is the java doc. Everything I found was for .NET (http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iCont...rence.ashx).

 

 

 

Any pointer would be great.

 

 

 

Thanks

    The wiki reference you pointed out isn't .Net based, it's a language-agnostic API reference meant to illustrate the API's parameters and structures. Since iControl is just a web service interface, the client binding is dependent on the toolkit you use to convert our description files (wsdl files) into the client binding of choice.

     

     

    We supply a .Net assembly and Java library for your convenience so you won't have to compile all the WSDL yourself. But, we don't provide language specific API documentation as we would have to manage all the client bindings our customers use (.Net, Java, Perl, Python, PHP, etc) while not controlling the client toolkits they use.

     

     

    There may be tools out there for converting .wsdl files into javadoc. If you find something, let me know and I'll see if I can get it integrated into our release process for the client libraries.
