To download any of the Javadocs, go to the [Javadocs section|LexEVS:LexEVS 6.0 Download Files#LexEVS Source Code.2C JavaDocs.2C and Examples] on the downloads page. You will find one download including all the Javadocs.
** If you have a local application accessing a Local Runtime, view the [Local Runtime Javadoc|http://informatics.mayo.edu/LexGrid/downloads/LexEVS_60_JavaDocs/LexEVS_Local_Runtime/] online.
** To interact with a LexEVS server that is hosting terminologies remotely, whether it be your own or the services at NCI, view the [Distributed Javadoc|http://lexevsapi60.nci.nih.gov/lexevsapi60/docs/] online.
** If you are using the Grid Analytical Services, view the [Grid Analytical Services Javadoc|http://informatics.mayo.edu/LexGrid/downloads/LexEVS_60_JavaDocs/LexEVS_Analytical_Grid_Services/] online.
** The Grid Data Service for LexEVS sits behind a caGrid interface. Most users do not reach this service via the Java API and in fact only a single method in the caGrid API is of interest. It can be found in the [Grid Data Service Implementation|http://software.cagrid.org/caGrid-1.3-javadocs/gov/nih/nci/cagrid/data/service/DataServiceImpl.html].

No formal LexEVS Server training courses exist in the caBIG® Learning Management System (LMS) at this time.
