[SOLVED] Retrieve tags from user profile in IBM Connections using Social Business Toolkit does not give tags

Retrieve tags from user profile in IBM Connections using Social Business Toolkit does not give tags

Hi we want to add tags to a userprofile programmatically. We are using the Social Business Toolkit for this purpose. More specifically we use the ProfileService, first we need to get the current tags and this always gives 0 results.

String userEmail = "ABC@XYZ.com";

            Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
            EntityList<Tag> tags = app.profileService.getTags(userEmail, params);

EntityList<Tag> tags = app.profileService.getTags("427ffbb1-ab50-4e82-97b2-46bf5584e799");

both give no tags (tags.size == 0) when we try to print them

if (tags.size() <= 0) {
                System.out.println("No tags to be displayed");
            }
            for (Tag tag : tags) {
                System.out.println("Tag : " + tag.getTerm());
                System.out.println("Tag Frequency:  " + tag.getFrequency());
                System.out.println("Tag Visibility : "
                        + tag.isVisible());
                System.out.println("");
            }

I have tried to test this with Connections Cloud and Greenhouse , but for those platforms I get authorization errors.
I tried this both with a 4.5 and 5.0 Connections environment, both giving the same result. However when I use the URL

profiles/atom/profileTags.do?targetEmail=ABC%40YYZ.com

I do get (XML) results.

We are using version 1.1.9.
