Equivalent of find command in ACL

Hi,

We have done customization of Arbortext Editor (Epic), and we want to avoid using ACL functions for a functionality. Instead we wish to do it using java. And, we need something equivalent of find command of ACL in java. Is there any such thing available? It is ok for us to use Arbortext classes for that. I looked into the documentation but could not find it. Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks
