How to get The users from a Collaborator that is type Group.

Question

Hello, I'm trying to get the users (and their emails) of a collaborator inside a Master Agreement that is type group.
I've tried the following methods:
1- Using a IBeanHomeLocator to get the GroupIBeanHomeIfc (with the static variable of sHOME_NAME) and then trying to get the Group with the DocumentId that the colaborator's method (getDocumentId()) returns and the GroupIBeanHome method findGroup().
The result was null
2 - Using exactly the same method as before, but instead of using the DocumentId, I did a query, in order to get the field USER_GROUP_OBJECT_ID,  to get the Id of the group.
The result is still null.
I'm not sure if there is a direct way to get it, or if i'm misusing the GroupIBeanHomeIfc.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Oscar,
In the document collaborator class there is a method getCollaboratorType() which returns CollaboratorTypeEnumType and there are certain values assigned to them.
user - A user collaborator
group - A group collaborator
contact - A user contact
So, hashcode of 2 returns the group.
Please have a look in to the below code.
collaborators = doc.getCollaborators();
     if(collaborators.size() > 0)
        collabIter = collaborators.iterator();
          while (collabIter.hasNext())
             member = collabIter.next();
             collabType= member.getCollaboratorType();
             hashValue= collabType.hashCode();
                if(hashValue==2)
                          collabName= member.getDisplayName();
                          throw new ApplicationException("collabName:" +collabName);
In the above code collabName returns the name of the group, with this you can search for the specified group using IbeanHomeLocator for group and then you can get the members in it and their mail Id's
Hope it helps you and let me know if you need any assistance.
Thanks,
Raj.
