After Trex Query the "areaAttributes" of items are NULL

Question

Hi, I wrote a simple code to search items by Trex functions.
This is the code:
IQueryStatement queryStmt = theCatalog.getCatalog().createQueryStatement();
IFilter filter = cff.createAttrFuzzyValue("MY_CUSTOM_ATTR", myCustomAttr);
queryStmt.setStatement(filter, null, null);
IQuery query = theCatalog.getCatalog().createQuery(queryStmt);
WebCatItemList itemList = new WebCatItemList(theCatalog, query, true, true);
The items are found, but the relative areaAttributes is empty.
If I try this code:
ArrayList listItemsToTry = itemList.getItems();
Iterator myListIterator = listItemsToTry .iterator();
while (myListIterator .hasNext())
WebCatItem item = (WebCatItem) myListIterator .next();
The call item.getAreaAttributes() is NULL.
The attributes are correctly replicated, and the "catalog" object  contains name, description and value of all attributes.
Anyone have some solutions about this issue? I need Trex query, but I need also the areaAttributes of item!
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
i wrote the new code:
String prdName = "12345";               
          WebCatItemList itemList = null;
          // create the query to search for products
          CatalogFilterFactory fact = CatalogFilterFactory.getInstance();
          IFilter productFilter =     fact.createAttrEqualValue("OBJECT_ID", prdName);
          IFilter filter = productFilter;
          IQuery query = null;
          try {
               IQueryStatement queryStmt =     catalog.getCatalog().createQueryStatement();
               queryStmt.setStatement(filter, null, null);
               // attributes, sort order?
               query = catalog.getCatalog().createQuery(queryStmt);
               itemList = new WebCatItemList(catalog, query, true);
               ArrayList listItemsToTry = itemList.getItems();
               Iterator myListIterator = listItemsToTry.iterator();
               while (myListIterator.hasNext())
                  WebCatItem item = (WebCatItem) myListIterator.next();
                  if (item.getCatalogItem() != null && item.getCatalogItem().getParent() != null)
                         WebCatAreaAttributes areaAttrib = new WebCatAreaAttributes(item.getCatalogItem().getParent());
                         Iterator iteratorC = item.getCatalogItemAttributes();
                         while (iteratorC.hasNext())
                              CatalogAttributeValue aCatValue = (CatalogAttributeValue) iteratorC.next();
                              out.println("GUID: " + aCatValue.getAttributeGuid() + " DESCRIPTION: " + areaAttrib.getDescription(aCatValue.getAttributeGuid(), aCatValue.getAsString()) + "<br>");
          } catch (CatalogException e) {
               out.println("CATALOG ERROR");
This is the result:
GUID: OBJECT_DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION: null
GUID: TEXT_0001 DESCRIPTION: null
GUID: TEXT_Z001 DESCRIPTION: null
GUID: MYCUSTOMATTR DESCRIPTION: null
The solution proposed don't works!
Where i wrong?
Thanks,
