How to get and update the owner of the work item via Java API?

0
Jayee Huang (13●2●11●11) | asked Mar 08 '13, 11:02 a.m.
 I can get and update some string attributes of a work item via Java API. 
copiedWorkItem is the object of IWorkItem;
 String currentSummary = copiedWorkItem.getHTMLSummary().getPlainText().trim();
            if (!currentSummary.equalsIgnoreCase(workitem.getSummary().trim())){
                IAttribute summaryAttribute= workItemClient.findAttribute(projectArea, IWorkItem.SUMMARY_PROPERTY, monitor);
                copiedWorkItem.setValue(summaryAttribute, workitem.getSummary());
            }
But I cannot get and set the value of "Owner". Who can help me?

<tt>IWorkItem.getOwner()</tt> and <tt>IWorkItem.setOwner()</tt> deal with <tt>IContributorHandle</tt>, not strings.  I'm not really sure how this interacts with the <tt>OWNER_PROPERTY</tt> attribute.

Working with getOwner() would look something more like this: 
IContributorHandle ownerHandle = workitem.getOwner();
//fetch the full object to see things like IContributor.getName(), IContributor.getUserId(), etc...
IContributor owner = teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(ownerHandle, IItemManager.DEFAULT, progressMonitor);

If you want to change the owner, use the IContributorManager to get the contributor: 
IContributor newOwner = teamRepo.contributorManager().fetchContributorByUserId(newOwnerUserId, progressMonitor);
copiedWorkItem.setOwner(newOwner);

I meet a new problem, I cannot find the right API to get and update status of a work item. 
Andrew, do you know about that?

Thanks Andrew. I used this in my project and it worked.
But I think it is very hard to find the correct API with clear specification.
