The following code shows how to create a new user with the Strategy Web SDK 10.x. The code also shows how to retrieve an existent user to later set additional information on the object.
 

package com.Strategy.custom.standalone;

import com.Strategy.web.beans.UserBean;
import com.Strategy.web.beans.UserEntityBean;
import com.Strategy.web.beans.WebBeanException;
import com.Strategy.web.beans.WebBeanFactory;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebIServerSession;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectSource;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectsException;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectsFactory;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.admin.users.WebUser;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLAuthModes;

public class newUser {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  WebIServerSession isess =
   WebObjectsFactory.getInstance().getIServerSession();
  isess.setServerName("localhost");
  isess.setLogin("administrator");
  isess.setProjectName("Strategy Tutorial");
  isess.setPassword("");
  isess.setServerPort(0);
  isess.setAuthMode(EnumDSSXMLAuthModes.DssXmlAuthStandard);

  try {
   isess.getSessionID();
   WebObjectSource wos = isess.getFactory().getObjectSource();

   UserEntityBean user = null;

   user = WebBeanFactory.getInstance().newUserBean();
   user.setSessionInfo(isess);
   user.InitAsNew();

   //Fetch properties for the user
   WebUser ua = (WebUser) user.getUserEntityObject();

   //Set basic user information
   ua.setLoginName("ZZZ_TestUser");
   ua.setFullName("Sample User");
   user.getObjectInfo().setDescription("This user was created using SDK");

   //Save new User
   user.save();

   //Gather user ID for later retrieval
   String userID = user.getObjectID();

   //Destroy User Object
   user = null;

   //Create a new User object
   user = WebBeanFactory.getInstance().newUserBean();
   user.setSessionInfo(isess);
   user.InitAsNew();

   //Attach the above created user
   user.setObjectID(userID);

   //Set description
   user.getObjectInfo().setDescription("New Description");

   //Save user changes
   user.save();

   System.out.println("Done");

  } catch (WebBeanException ex) {
   System.out.println("Error creating a session: " + ex.getMessage());
  } catch (WebObjectsException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
 }
}
