Get UserId from the Session Id and Server URL

Question

I have a requirement, where I will be getting the Session Id and Server URL(parameters of a webservice method).

Say like this:

Session ID : 00D900000xxxxxx!ARUAQOb4VVoQR1UXlY_Hvuy1DdKdN6nSfnNJKYwPTF9R3tYuA2jzBsWXHIGDQUFL13iebnYSDKKC45H98TzVxxxxxxxxxx

Server URL : https://ap1.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/12.0/00D900000xxxxxx

Now i need to get the User Id(or any other user details) from these two.

Thanks in Advance!!

Adam, GetUserInfo method requires existing connection object which we can create by calling method, so I applied the following code and now everything works fine!

ConnectorConfig config = new ConnectorConfig(); config.setAuthEndpoint("https://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/24.0/"); config.setServiceEndpoint("https://na14.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/24.0/00DXXXXXXXXXXXX"); config.setSessionId("00DXXXXXXXXXXXX!1AQ4AQO980Fmu25SOFQxxOlQN8zAaHOlnfdk._rZU2Vkf_CV0HJREqKavMLaPg9jtA9N517MNHLdLeF.aVkoZtnk2eu7u.XNn"); connection = new EnterpriseConnection(config); GetUserInfoResult userInfo = connection.getUserInfo();

I used the same server URL and sessionId that I have received from query parameter string.

You could use the SOAP API, which has a GetUserInfo method. Calling this method will return a GetUserInfoResult object, which will contain the user ID associated to the session.
