Hi,
I am not very comfortable in java. So Asking this help. This could be very easy and straight for regular java users.
Scenario:
I am connecting to Splunk and Running oneshot search and I need to send email to User as notification.
I figured out like User.getEmail() will give me email of current user. But I cannot fit this in my Code.Please help where I am doing wrong.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.HashMap;

import com.splunk.*; // The entry point to the client library

public class SplunkConnect {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Create a map of arguments and add login parameters
    Args loginArgs = new Args();
    loginArgs.add("username", "admin");
    loginArgs.add("password", "password");
    loginArgs.add("host", "localhost");
    loginArgs.add("port", 8089);

     Create a Service instance and log in with the argument map
    Service service = Service.connect(loginArgs);
    String user= service.getUsername();
    String email=service.User.getEmail();
   System.out.println("The current user is " + user);
   System.out.println("The current user email is " + email);

Please suggest the correct way of calling getUser().
Thanks in Advance.
