Trying to get EMAIL_ADDRESS attribute from the SECURITY_CONFIGURATION.

Question

I am currently editing an existing script that retrieves the list of administrators of a workspace in Oracle Content Services by using the SECURITY_CONFIGURATION and GRANTS attributes. I am trying to find the easiest way that I can retrieve the email address of the accounts that it retrieves as adminsitrators. Here are the attribute requests that are in the code currently:
Item[] Grants = (Item[]) FdkUtils.getAttribute(folderContents[ind], Attributes.SECURITY_CONFIGURATION + FdkConstants.SEPARATOR + Attributes.GRANTS);
Item grantee = (Item)FdkUtils.getAttribute(Grants[gind], Attributes.GRANTEE);
Item[] role = (Item[])FdkUtils.getAttribute(Grants[gind], Attributes.ROLES);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dustin

Try something like the following (using Content Services utility classes in place of the Content DB classes)
Special note..
Notice how we are requesting in the SECURITY_CONFIGURATION_GRANTS_ATTRIBUTES request array for the GRANTEE, and for the GRANTEE, associated attributes from USER_ATTRIBUTES (which is EMAIL_ADDRESS).
  public static final AttributeRequest[] USER_ATTRIBUTES =
    new AttributeRequest[]
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.EMAIL_ADDRESS),
   * ROLE item type attributes.
   * Includes PROPAGATING, CUSTOMIZABLE, etc.
  public static final AttributeRequest[] ROLE_ATTRIBUTES =
    new AttributeRequest[]
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.PROPAGATING),
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.CUSTOMIZABLE),
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.REGISTRATION_KEY),
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.ACCESS_LEVEL),
   * GRANT item type attributes.
   * Used to retrieve the details of a particular grant, including the
   * GRANTEE and the ROLES granted
  public static final AttributeRequest[]
    SECURITY_CONFIGURATION_GRANTS_ATTRIBUTES = new AttributeRequest[]
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.GRANTEE, USER_ATTRIBUTES),
      // roles specified on a grant
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.ROLES, ROLE_ATTRIBUTES),
      // Whether the grant includes any Roles only realized when in admin mode
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.HAS_ADMIN_ROLES),
      // Whether the grant includes any Roles only realized when in normal mode
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.HAS_NORMAL_ROLES),
      // Whether security configuration grant is propagating
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.PROPAGATING),
      // Folder from which a security config grant is propogated from
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.PROPAGATED_FROM),
   * SECURITY_CONFIGURATION item type attributes.
   * Used to retrieve the security GRANTS.
  public static final AttributeRequest[] SECURITY_CONFIGURATION_ATTRIBUTES =
    new AttributeRequest[]
      // all grants for security config
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.GRANTS,
        SECURITY_CONFIGURATION_GRANTS_ATTRIBUTES),
      // grants on security config propagated from a parent's security config
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.PROPAGATED_GRANTS),
   * DOCUMENT / FOLDER item type security configuration attribute details.
   * Used to retrieve the security configuration information details for the
   * document/folder item.
  public static final AttributeRequest[] ITEM_SECURITY_CONFIGURATION =
    new AttributeRequest[]
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(
        Attributes.HAS_EXPLICIT_SECURITY_CONFIGURATION),
      ClientUtils.newAttributeRequest(Attributes.SECURITY_CONFIGURATION,
        SECURITY_CONFIGURATION_ATTRIBUTES)
Item folder = ...;
CommonManager commonM = session.getCommonManager();
folder = commonM.getItem(folder.getId(), ITEM_SECURITY_CONFIGURATION);
Item securityConfig = (Item) CommonUtils.getAttribute(folder, Attributes.SECURITY_CONFIGURATION);
Item[] grants = (Item[]) CommonUtils.getAttribute(securityConfig, Attributes.GRANTS);
int length = (grants == null) ? 0 : grants.length;
for (int gind=0; gind<length; gind++)
  Item grantee = (Item) CommonUtils.getAttribute(grants[gind], Attributes.GRANTEE);
  String email_address = (String) CommonUtils.getAttribute(grantee, Attributes.EMAIL_ADDRESS);
