Need help in getting 'RoleApprover' and 'Manager of RoleApprover'

Question

We are developing a Custom Role Approval Process using SOA composite.
A manager or a delegated admin will be raising a Role Approval request for a beneficiary. We need to assign the Approval task to beneficiaries' manager or Role Approver.
If the RoleApprover does not Approve the task in stipulated time, the task needs to get escalated to RoleApprover's manager.
I'm new to OIM APIs, i was folllowing the tutorial "developing_oim_custom_approval_process_for_role_request.pdf". This needs an user defined field 'RoleApprover' created in the Role request form. We cannot create user defined field in the role request form.
I need help in getting the 'RoleApprover' and the 'Manager of RoleApprover' programmatically.
Payload from the OIM Approval request follows:
<ns2:process>
<RequestID>176</RequestID>
<RequestModel>Assign Roles</RequestModel>
<RequestTarget>Onhand Quantity</RequestTarget>

Choose Xerces2.4 to serialize the DOM object is an option.
javac XercesTest.java -classpath xmlParserAPIs.jar;xercesImpl.jar;.
java -classpath xmlParserAPIs.jar;xercesImpl.jar;. XercesTest test.xml
below is the source file: XercesTest.java
//JAXP
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
//APACHE SERIALIZE FUNCTION
import org.apache.xml.serialize.*;
class XercesTest
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse( new File( args[0] ) );
File f = new File( "copy_of_"+ args[0] );
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat("xml","UTF-8",true ) ;
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream( f );
XMLSerializer ser = new XMLSerializer(fout, format );
ser.serialize( doc );
maybe it's helpful
