To begin with, you don't need to use that web service to get the username. You just use the function userName() and use a rule or default value to put it in your text field. This will return the username of the current user and can surely be used for hiding parts of your form or for switching views. You can then use that username to get additional profile info about that person or other people if you send that username to the web service as a query parameter. Refer to my blog entry for assistance: InfoPath – Get user information without writing code (extended). Also, there are several other threads close to the top that talk about this web service in case you want to peruse.
