This method is used to validate a user¿s user's userid and password. The method queries the database for the provided information. If the credentials exist in the database, a record is returned containing the user¿s user's account information.
The getUserInfo() takes several arguments:1.
- String Userid – i.e "amarx"
...
- String password – i.e. "A_marx"
...
- String schemaVersionNumber -- i.e. "2.1"
In the web service client we might auto generate a data structure by providing the web service url. In eLandings we use Java – JAX-WS and generate a structure called ReportManager.
