IWDatacapture.getItem is not working for replicant

System

am trying hide a replicant item for specific content type. I tried the following. But it is not working.

The following replicant structure in DCT.

<item name='items'>
<replicant required='f' min='0' max='2' default='0'>
<item name='item1'>
<text required='f' size='40' maxlength='300'> </text>
</item>
<item name='Item2'>
<text required='f' size='55' maxlength='255'/> </item>
</replicant>
</item>

I tried following all

1. grpItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/items");
alert (" Item name " + grpItem.getName()) -> returning nothing and aborting the excution

2. grpItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/items/item1")
alert (" Item name " + grpItem.getName()) -> returning nothing and aborting the excution

3. grpItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/items[1]/item1")
alert (" Item name " + grpItem.getName()) -> returning nothing and aborting the excution

is there anthing I am missing?

any help in this regard would greatly be appreciated.
