Question

Getting the user assigned to the role and setting an attribute value

Hi All,
OK...I've been pouring over the java docs but since I'm still learning this java nonsense, it's quite confusing to me.
In an expression robot, I need a way to extract who the user is assigned to a specified role (AUTHOR for example).
I believe this is what I need but I'm not sure:
wt.team.Team team = (wt.team.Team) ( (wt.workflow.engine.WfProcess) self.getObject() ).getTeamId().getObject();
java.util.Enumeration principal = team.getPrincipalTarget(wt.project.Role.toRole("AUTHOR"));
So in this case, the value of "principal" is the user who is the author in this workflow right?

Here's what I've got for returning all WTPrincipals in a specific role:

public static Collection getPrincipalsInRole(String role, Team team) throws WTException {
Map rpMap = team.getRolePrincipalMap();
String resultOid = null;
Collection retList = new ArrayList();

Iterator iter = rpMap.keySet().iterator();

while(iter.hasNext()) {
Role nextRole = (Role) iter.next();
String mapRole = nextRole.getStringValue();
int lastPeriodLoc = mapRole.lastIndexOf(".");
if (lastPeriodLoc > -1)
mapRole = mapRole.substring(lastPeriodLoc + 1);

if (mapRole.equalsIgnoreCase(role)) {
Object user = rpMap.get(nextRole);
if (user != null) {
resultOid = GeneralUtility.getLocalOid(user.toString());
ReferenceFactory rf = new ReferenceFactory();
WTReference ref = rf.getReference(resultOid);
retList.add((WTPrincipal) ref.getObject());
}
}
}
return retList;
}

Now, keep in mind that this returns a list that could contain nothing (if the role is empty), or a combination of WTGroup and WTUser objects (since you can assign groups to roles).
