Hello:
I have a piece of code here, even tough I believe it would be easier if you could explain a little more about your problem.
First I create properties for connection. I'm using strings however this can be done also setting properties directly:
String server = "MDMServer";
int port  = 2005;
String user = "admin";
String password = "thePassword";
String language = "Spanish [MX]"; // languaje and local you want to use
// THen you choose the region and attempt to login. Please note that even tough I choose region US, I log as a MX user, as provided by the language property
CatalogData mdmBridge = new CatalogData();     
mdmBridge.SetCodeRegion("English [US]");          mdmBridge.Login(server,port,user,password,language);
// also note that the catalogData object is the main entrance, now create an array for MDMTables:
CMTableInfoArray tables = null;
// and attempt to get them:
AttributeInfoArray fields = mdmBridge.GetLinkedAttributesForTaxonomy("Categories",6,false);
System.out.println("Counts: " + fields.GetCount());
// Traverse:
for (int i = 0; i < fields.GetCount(); i++)
     AttributeInfo att = fields.GetAttributeInfoAt(i);
     System.out.println("NAME: " + att.GetName());
// In this case I'm getting a taxonomy table, such as "Categories". However you could use any other type of tables. Finally I get the contents of this table:
// Attempt to get the categories               A2iStringArray array = new A2iStringArray();
               array.Add("Filter");
ResultSetDefinition rsd = new ResultSetDefinition("Categories");
rsd.AddField("Id");
A2iResultSet rs = mdmBridge.GetRecordsByValue(array,rsd,"Id");               
for(int i = 0; i < rs.GetRecordCount(); i++)               {
   Value v = rs.GetValueAt(i,0);
   System.out.println(v.GetStringValue());
Please review the MDM API for java for further info.
I hope that helps
