Fetching UDF's values from usermanager object in OIM 11gR2

Question

Hi Experts,
I am implementing a code to generate and update a random password using a post event handler. The idea is to append the iniatals (user login) of the user along with a UDF say (section_code). The label for section_code is "Sect Code" I am using 11g API's and the code is as:
HashMap<String, Serializable> parameters = orch.getParameters();
String user_Key = getParamaterValue(parameters , "User Login");
String section_code = getParamaterValue(parameters , "Sect Code"); -- this is not fetching the valueand then getting these values from
if(parameters.containsKey(key)){
String value = (parameters.get(key) instanceof ContextAware) ? (String) ((ContextAware)
parameters.get(key)).getObjectValue() : (String) parameters.get(key);
return value;
}But i noticed that User Login is getting fetched but the section code which is a UDF is not coming. Is there a way?

Set<String> retAttrs = new HashSet<String>();
retAttrs.add(UserManagerConstants.AttributeName.USER_LOGIN.getId());
retAttrs.add(UserManagerConstants.AttributeName.EMPTYPE.getId());
retAttrs.add("Floor");
// Add any attributes you'd like here to return only specific attributes instead of whole set. This will cut down on time to search for users.
//This code will order the list by usr_key
HashMap<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<String, Object>();
parameters.put("STARTROW", 0);
parameters.put("ENDROW", -1);
parameters.put("SORTEDBY", "usr_key");
parameters.put("SORTORDER", "SortOrder.ASCENDING");
SearchCriteria criteria = new SearchCriteria(UserManagerConstants.AttributeName.USER_LOGIN.getId(), userlogin, SearchCriteria.Operator.EQUAL);
List<User> users = UserManager.search(criteria, retAttrs, parameters);
//You can also use UserManager.search(criteria, null, null); if you do not want to supply the return attributes or parameters.
User user = null;
if (users.size()!=0) user = users.get(0);
String employeeType = user.getAttributes().get(UserManagerConstants.AttributeName.EMPTYPE.getId()).toString();
String floor = user.getAttributes.get("Floor").toString();
//If there are more than 1 returned user, you can use for(User user:users){ loop through here   }
