Help with user.update.accounts[Lighthouse].changes[roleInfos].new

Question

When I access user.update.accounts[Lighthouse].changes[roleInfos].new it returns a list of XMLObjects, which are the new list of roles to be provisioned in IDM. The following is an example:
<GenericAttribute>
  <Object>
    <Attribute name='attribute'>
      <Object name='Production Server'>
        <Attribute name='directlyAssigned'>
          <Boolean>true</Boolean>
        </Attribute>
        <Attribute name='state' value='assigned'/>
        <Attribute name='type' value='BusinessRole'/>
      </Object>
    </Attribute>
  </Object>
</GenericAttribute>I would like to execute a specific transition when a specific role is identified within work flow transition from this list. So I thought I could try the following:
<contains>
  <ref>user.update.accounts[Lighthouse].changes[roleInfos].new</ref>
  <s>Production Server</s>
</contains>This does not work, but in my workflow debug I see the following:
  Resolved reference user.update.accounts[Lighthouse].changes[roleInfos].new = [Corporate Domain Administrator
  assignedBy = [Information Security Specialist]
  assignmentType = conditional
  state = assigned
  type = ITRole
, Employee Production
  assignedBy = [Information Security Specialist]
  assignmentType = required
  state = assigned
  type = ITRole
, IT Organization
  assignedBy = [Information Security Specialist]
  assignmentType = required
  state = assigned
  type = ITRole
, Information Security
  assignedBy = [Information Security Specialist]
  assignmentType = required
  state = assigned
  type = ITRole
, Information Security Specialist
  directlyAssigned = true
  state = assigned
  type = BusinessRole
, MachineEX bzncvs02ex
  assignedBy = [Information Security Specialist]
  assignmentType = conditional
  state = assigned
  type = ApplicationRole
, MachineEx bznsa02ex
  assignedBy = [Information Security Specialist]
  assignmentType = conditional
  state = assigned
  type = ApplicationRole
, MachineEx bznwsint01
  assignedBy = [Information Security Specialist]
  assignmentType = conditional
  state = assigned
  type = ApplicationRole
, Technology Organization
  assignedBy = [Information Security Specialist]
  assignmentType = required
  state = assigned
  type = ITRole
]My question is how can I check for something specific in XMLobject list similar to the following or Java code?
<contains>
  <ref>user.update.accounts[Lighthouse].changes[roleInfos].new</ref>
  <s>Production Server</s>
</contains>

Answer 1

I solved my problem and wanted to share the solution with yall
1. First off the modifications are stored in a task instance, which is passed to the workflow engine
variables.user.update.accounts[Lighthouse].changes[roleInfos].new2. I created a class to parse the list of changes which are stored as XMLobject in a task definition
public Boolean roleChangeValidation(List<GenericAttribute> changes, String roleid)
          String type = "MANUAL";
          Boolean returncode = false;
          if (changes != null) {
               Iterator<GenericAttribute> it = changes.iterator();
               do {
                    if (!it.hasNext())
                         break;
                    GenericAttribute change = it.next();
                    GenericObject value = change.get();          
                    String name = value.getName();
                    if(this.Debug)
                         System.out.println(type + ":" + name);
                    if(value.containsValue(roleid))
                         if(this.Debug)
                              System.out.println(name);
                         returncode = true;
               } while (true);
          return returncode;
     }3. I added the following actions to the update workflow, which passes the Roleid I am looking for and returns true if found.
<Action id='1' name='Validate Privileged Role'>
  <expression>
    <block>
      <defvar name='zRoleChange'>
        <new class='com.generic.util.zRoleChange'>
          <Boolean>true</Boolean>
        </new>
      </defvar>
      <set name='_tokencheck_'>
        <invoke name='roleChangeValidation'>
          <ref>zRoleChange</ref>
          <ref>user.update.accounts[Lighthouse].changes[roleInfos].new</ref>
          <s>Production Server</s>
        </invoke>
      </set>
    </block>
  </expression>
