User creation in a web service

Question

Hi everybody,
in a web service we use a code like the following one to create a new EP user, but its ID is displayed as null.
IUserMaint user = userFactory.newUser("<user>");
user.setFirstName("firstname");
user.setLastName("lastname");
user.setEmail("<mail>");
user.commit();
IUserAccount userAccount = userAccountFactory.newUserAccount(testUserId, user.getUniqueID());
userAccount.save();
userAccount.commit();
Can you help us?
Thanks in advance.

The sample code in the PDK uses:
        iusermaint = userFactory.newUser(username);
        //Save the data permanently.
        iusermaint.commit();
        //Save the new user's unique name and ID to the strings.
        uniqueName = iusermaint.getUniqueName();
        uniqueID = iusermaint.getUniqueID();
        //Create user account using the unique name and ID read
        //from the system before and the password read from the bean.
        IUserAccount iUserAccount = accountFactory.newUserAccount(uniqueName, uniqueID);
        iUserAccount.setPassword(password);
        //Save the data permanently.
        iUserAccount.commit();
The difference to your code is that they appear to get the uniquieID from the just created user, whereas you have hardcoded it...
