Hi Pauline,

Soot automatically computes du chains internally, and does so a number 
of times. See, for instance:

http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/doc/soot/toolkits/scalar/SmartLocalDefs.html
http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/doc/soot/toolkits/scalar/CombinedDUAnalysis.html

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do, though. What do you mean by 
returning a def-use chain for a method?
