// 2. Optionally, provide an AccountInfo to be filled
// AccountInfo existingInfo = ...;
// loader.put(existingInfo);

// 3. Fill the properties of the AccountInfo(s)
try {
    loader.fill();
} catch (PermissionBackendException e) {
    // Handle exception
}

// 4. Get the filled AccountInfo again if needed
AccountInfo filledInfo = loader.get(accountId);

// Example of filling a collection
// Collection<? extends AccountInfo> infosToFill = ...;
try {
    loader.fill(infosToFill);
