Answer 1

example@abc.com is NOT a username but an email- address (that can be used in the username field to login for Webservices / traveler / ldap / etc. if the server is configured accordingly).

There are different ways to get an email- address for a given username, the easiest might be the usage of the Directory- Class and its method "lookupNames".

Here is an example taken from the Designer Help:

  Session session = getSession();
  AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
  Directory dir = session.getDirectory("NameOfYourServer");
  String userName=session.getUsername(); 
  DirEntryCollection direc = dir.lookupNames("($Users)",userName,"email");
  DirEntry dirent = direc.getFirstEntry()
  while (dirent != null) {
    String name = dirent.getItemValue("InternetAddress");
    System.out.println(InternetAddress);
    dirent = direc.getNextEntry(); }

Designer help can be found in many places (locally installed if Designer is installed) or e.g. here
