getUserByLoginId() returns null

System

I'm trying to use the following to retrieve a users email address but getUserByLoginId() always returns null.

//workspace is a reference to a workspace
//library is a reference to a library

try{

System.out.println("Workspace Name is: " + workspace.getName());
System.out.println("Library Name is: " + library.getName());
User user = library.getUserByLoginId("cbland"); //I've also tried User user = library.getUserByLoginId("domain.com","cbland"); Same results
System.out.println("User is: " + user);
System.out.println("User Email Address is: " + user.getEmail1());


} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception caught: " + e);
}


OUTPUT

Workspace Name is: This is a workspace in FAC1
Library Name is: wsmp1
User is: null
Exception caught: java.lang.NullPointerException


The user is a member of the workspace, library , and has an email address. The users logon ID is cbland. Has anyone else tried to use this method ?

I think that you need to check that you have a SimpleSession object and that you are logged in. I don't see that code in your example:

SimpleSession session = SessionManger.getInstance().createSimpleSession();
session.logon("cbland", "password", "domain");
User user = session.getLoggedOnUser();
