Invoking the Web Service

To fetch user account details:

  2. Use the retrieveUserAccountRequest elements to collect the user and account details, as listed in the table.
  3. Use the retrieveUserAccountRequest message and construct the input message by using the details specified in the preceding step.
  4. Invoke the retrieveUserAccount operation of the ArcorUserRegistrySvc service to fetch the user details based on the account information.

    This operation returns the retrieveUserAccountResponse message that includes the transaction identifier, authentication token, and user account details. See the following section for more information on the response message.

Interpreting the Response Message

The response message, retrieveUserAccountResponse, returns the transaction identifier and the authentication token in the SOAP envelope header. The SOAP body includes the user account details for a successful transaction and the Fault response for an error condition.

See the following table for more information on the elements returned for a successful transaction. Refer to appendix, "Exceptions and Error Codes" if there are any errors.
