Unable to setValue for a custom Attribute
Hi,
i am using plain java API to get connected with RTC from eclipse.
I have n number of custom attributes.
Some of them I can set value using the literal value ( workItem.setValue(attrWic,"ILiteral:cmoCategory.literal.l4");)
but some I am not able to set the value
When I do getValue i get different scenarios.
Scenario 1
workItem.getValue(iAttribute1).toString(); returns affected_environments.literal.l1
Scenario 2
workItem.getValue(iAttribute2).toString(); returns com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.ILiteral:cmoCategory.literal.l3
Anything that has output like scenario 2 I am unable to setValue() I am getting following error message
Exception occurred during playback of script [Script1] [CRFCN0019E: RationalTest
ScriptException on line 48 of script Script1 - java.lang.ClassCastException: jav
a.lang.String incompatible with com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.Identifier.].
Please suggest me how to set value for such custom attributes.
Thanks

My experience is that the literal ID follows the colon (:) in the result of workItem.getValue(iAttribute2).toString()
Look at your Process Source for the enumeration. You're likely to find id="cmoCategory.literal.l3" but not the other.
So try split(":") to get the parts, use the 2nd for the value to workItem.setValue() method.

There is some code that might help here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/manipulationg-work-item-enumeration-values/ . I am not sure what the issue is.

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the reply
Your suggestion worked partially
I used 1 of your method in the link
i.e.
private static Identifier getLiteralEqualsString(String name, IAttributeHandle ia)
This method only returned me the literal ID for scenario 2(com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.ILiteral:cmoCategory.literal.l3 ) where else it dint return anything at all for the Scenario 1
workItem.getValue(iAttribute1).toString(); returns affected_environments.literal.l1
please help me out how to get value from the custom attributes for scenario 1
Thanks
for your time
I am not sure I understand what you are asking. You need to cast to the correct thing. If you getValue(IAttribute) on an enumeration type attribute you get an Identifier.
Object prio = workItem.getValue(priority);
if (prio instanceof Identifier<?>) {
Identifier<?> identifier = (Identifier<?>) prio;
System.out.print("\tIdentifier: " + identifier.getStringIdentifier());
}
The code gets the identifier and you would have to look up a display value analog to the way it is described in the post. I am not aware of an easier way - which does not mean there is none that I haven't found.
This code only works for scenario 2 did not return any value for the first scenario .
Any other suggestion?
Thanks
Scenario 1 does not make sense to me, so you might want to be more explicit about the use case and what you want to achieve.
