Extended user attributes (UME)

Question

Hi there
I'd like to add some attributes to my application users.
I've read about ume.admin.addattrs and ume.admin.self.addattrs and I got it working, I mean, I can see those attributes in the "user admin" of my was server.
How can I read these values in my webdynpro application?
I've tried through IUser interface but it didn't work.
Is there any other way of adding attributes to WAS users?
thanks in advance

Hi Julio,
Try this
try {
     IUser user = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByUniqueName(username);
     String salesOrg;
     final String[] attribute = user.getAttribute(
          "com.sap.security.core.usermanagement",
          "NAME_OF_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE_FOR_SALES_ORGANIZATION");
     if( attribute==null || attribute.length == 0 || !Utils.isNotEmpty(attribute[0]) ) {
     //manage error
          return;
     } else {
          salesOrg = attribute[0];
} catch (final WDUMException e) {
     //manage exception
     return;
