wait for input element to be populated from database value?

I have a problem with adding pause for some steps. here is a problem: I have input form in which I input some value. in a few next forms data must be located in database and autopopulated. after that auto populated step I can continue with my test. here is what I did but with no success. locate first form which must be populated with database values pt1:r1:1:pt1:it8::content, try to get value. if there is value print (just for my print), if no value auto inputed from database I'm trying to make pause but no pause is apearing

Code:

WebElement we = driver.findElement(By.id("pt1:r1:1:pt1:it8::content"));
        String ime = we.getAttribute("value");
       
        if (ime != null && !ime.isEmpty()) {
            System.out.println("Popunjen podatak! Ime: " + ime);
        } else {
            Boolean pause = false;
            String temp = we.getAttribute("value");
            System.out.println("Ime u ličnim podacima :" + temp);
            pause = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 5)).until(ExpectedConditions.textToBePresentInElement(we, ""));
            if (pause){
                System.out.println("PAUZA!");
            } else {
                throw new Exception("Nisu povučeni podaci iz baze!");
            }
        }

solution:

Code:

WebDriverWait wdw = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);
 ExpectedCondition<Boolean> ec = new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
 
@Override
 public Boolean apply(WebDriver wd) {
 WebElement result = wd.findElement(By.id("pt1:r1:1:pt1:it8::content"));
// da vrati kada se ime dovuce
 return !result.getAttribute("value").isEmpty();
 }
 };
 wdw.until(ec);
