FormAPI method/s to get users from a group

The scenario is to identify the users in a group and display the users as a drop down in the instantiation screen.

I have created a custom instantiation form which displays a drop down and i have retreived the group based on the user:
userGrp = IWDatacapture.getGroups();

Is there a method in FormAPI to get the list of users based on a group?

From my exhaustive search i was able to see the following for CLT:
iwgroup list-users groupname [-recurse]

and the following for CSSDK:
CSGroup.getusers()

any help in how i could acheive this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Use an inline for your drop down and populate using the above commands or directly read the tsgroups.xml file..

What should i do to directly read an XML file from an instantiation form?

Read its content into a variable and run xml parser on that variable.. Retrieve values as you would..

I think you need to create a DataSource Variable in Workflow. For this you need to write datasource class, which picks the user according to the group. Now you have to register this class in datasource.xml file.
After that you will able to display the users in drop down using custom_instantiation.cfg

You may go through by wfm_user_guide, there is a good example available.

This is the Java Way to go.. Not that the inline solution would not work.
