[midPoint] [Midpoint 4.4]Unable to cast a PrismObjectValueImpl object to an other type

[Sébastien MARBRIER]

Hello,

In one of my server task inherited from midpoint 4.0.1, there is a piece of code like this one:
PrismPropertyValue userPrismPropertyValue = (PrismPropertyValue) event.getObject();
UserType userOld = (UserType) userPrismPropertyValue.getValue();

For the record, I rewrote the task as an iterative scripting activity.
When an account has to be processed there is message like this one:
2022-01-05 22:00:04,971 [REPOSITORY] [pool-2-thread-95] ERROR (com.evolveum.midpoint.repo.common.activity.run.processing.ItemProcessingGatekeeper): Iterative scripting of object UserType: <name of user + OID> failed: com.evolveum.midpoint.util.exception.ExpressionEvaluationException: Cannot cast object 'POV:user:<oid user name>' with class 'com.evolveum.midpoint.prism.impl.PrismObjectValueImpl' to class 'com.evolveum.midpoint.prism.PrismPropertyValue' in (new) event filter expression

I am not able to find a proper way to find the proper way to convert the PrismObjectValueImpl returned by event.getObject()

I was able to find a reference to the getObject method in https://evolveum.com/downloads/midpoint/4.0/midpoint-4.0-javadoc/com/evolveum/midpoint/notifications/api/events/CustomEvent.html but I am not sure it is the good place since there is no explicit import in the source code.
I found something that may be close to my need at https://docs.evolveum.com/midpoint/reference/misc/notifications/general/ since the piece of code is inside a general notifier.

I am thinking about doing something such as :
UserType userOld  = (UserType) event.getFocusContext().getObjectTypeClass()

The getObjectOld() method also seems to be a good candidate
UserType userOld  = (UserType) event.getFocusContext().getObjectTypeClass().getObjectOld.().asObjectable()

Would you please confirm to me if it would be the right way to do it ?
I am not able to trigger the issue at will because and the error status of the task returns quickly to OK but I could not see any change in the previously failed object and this behavior is quite a mystery to me.

Best regards,
