Create Cursor Request - omit Container?

Question

Hello,
i am trying to get a users appointments by using a cursor.
The soap docs say, if i leave the container element empty, all folders will be searched.
If i omit the container completely, i get an error "Container String is missing".
Same thing if i just set an empty string for container....
Why would the documentation say that one can omit the container when GW then moans about it ?
createCursorRequest createCursorReq = new createCursorRequest();
createCursorResponse createCursorResp = new createCursorResponse();
createCursorReq.container = "";
FilterEntry fe = new FilterEntry();
fe.op = FilterOp.eq;
fe.field = "@type";
fe.value = "Appointment";
createCursorReq.filter = new Filter();
createCursorReq.filter.element = fe;
createCursorResp = gwbTestB1.createCursorRequest(createCursorReq);
Thanks for Help!

Sorry, there must be a problem with the documentation.
To search all folders, you put "folders" as the container.
