This code snippet shows how to retrieve values of check list items, states, lifecycle names, paths of resources in the WSO2 Governance Registry

GetValues.java

import org.wso2.carbon.governance.api.exception.GovernanceException;
import org.wso2.carbon.registry.core.Resource;
import java.util.Enumeration;
 
class SomeClass(){
 
    private final String REGISTRY_LC_NAME = "registry.LC.name";
    private final String REGISTRY_LIFECYCLE = "registry.lifecycle.";
    private final String REGISTRY_CUSTOM_LIFECYCLE_CHECKLIST = "registry.custom_lifecycle.checklist.option.";
    private final String REGISTRY_CUSTOM_LIFECYCLE_VOTE = "registry.custom_lifecycle.votes.option." ;
    private final String REGISTRY_ASPECTS = "registry.Aspects";
 
    public String[] getCheckListItemsList(Resource resource){
        String[] checkListItemsList = null;
 
        Enumeration en = resource.getProperties().propertyNames();
 
        String str;
        int checkItems = 0;
        while(en.hasMoreElements()){
            str = (String) en.nextElement();
            if (str.startsWith(REGISTRY_CUSTOM_LIFECYCLE_CHECKLIST)){
                checkItems++;
            }
        }
        checkItems = checkItems/2;
        if(checkItems>0){
            checkListItemsList = new String[checkItems];
            String ITEM_VALUE;
 
            for(int i=0;i<checkItems;i++){
                ITEM_VALUE=resource.getPropertyValues(REGISTRY_CUSTOM_LIFECYCLE_CHECKLIST +i +".item").get(3);
                checkListItemsList[i] = ITEM_VALUE.substring(6);
            }
        }
        return checkListItemsList;
 
    }
 
    public String getResourceLCName(Resource resource){
        String resourceLCName = resource.getProperty(REGISTRY_LC_NAME);
 
        return resourceLCName;
    }
 
    public String getResourcePath(Resource resource){
        String resourcePath = resource.getPath();
 
        return resourcePath;
    }
 
    public String getResourceState(Resource resource){
        String resourceLCName = resource.getProperty(REGISTRY_LC_NAME);
        String stateProperty = REGISTRY_LIFECYCLE + resourceLCName + ".state";
 
        resourceCurrentState = resource.getProperty(stateProperty);
 
        return resourceCurrentState;
 
    }
 
 
}

You can use a similar method to getCheckListItemsList, if you want to get vote items list.
