URI for file

0
Hendrik Haddorp (13●1●2) | asked May 28 '13, 12:34 p.m.
Hi,
I was hoping to be able to create an URI pointing to the Jazz web UI for a given file. My impression was that this is possible using com.ibm.team.repository.common.Location.contentLocation(IContent content, java.lang.String repoUrl, java.lang.String serviceName). However I'm not able to get an IContent object from an IFileItem object.

According to the com.ibm.team.repository.client.IContentManager JavaDoc IFileItem.getContet() should return an IContent object but in reality I get an IFileContent object and that does not seem to be compatible.

Would be great if somebody could tell me how this can be done.

regards,
Hendrik

You can use SCMLocationUtil#getVersionableLocation() to construct a URI to a file. However, it requires a workspace and component as context.
Location versionableLocation = SCMLocationUtil.getVersionableLocation(repo.getRepositoryURI(), workspaceHandle, componentHandle, new Path(filePath));
versionableLocation.toAbsoluteUri().toASCIIString();
You won't really need the IFileItem as long as you know the path to the file.

Thanks, that works. Only problem is that the API is not documented in the SDK. Strangely it only does a relatively simple call to Location.pathLocation(), which is part of the SDK. Is there no way to do this in a way that is documented?
