 Hello,

I try to code a Plugin (DefaultValueProvider) to return the default category according the workitem type.
I have this code but i don't understand how return the category.

public class DefaultValueProvider1 extends AbstractService implements IDefaultValueProvider<Category> {

public DefaultValueProvider1() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

@Override
public Category getDefaultValue(IAttribute attribute, IWorkItem workItem,
IWorkItemCommon workItemCommon, IConfiguration configuration,
IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
IWorkItemCommon common = getService(IWorkItemCommon.class);
IProjectAreaHandle projectArea = workItem.getProjectArea();
if(workItem.getWorkItemType().equals("dev_task")){
String categoryName = "Dev";
List<String> namePath= Arrays.asList(categoryName.split("/"));
ICategoryHandle category = common.findCategoryByNamePath(projectArea,namePath,monitor);
return category;
}
else
return null;
}
}

Is there any exception thrown?

Currently you return the handle to the category. I would suggest to resolve the handle and to get the ICategory and return that. Consider looking at http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/attribute-customization-java-based-value-providers-conditions-and-validators/ where, as far as I remember, I always return the resolved object and not the handle. Resolve using
workItemCommon.getAuditableCommon().resolveAuditable(.....
 Another approach you could try is returning category.getItemId(), but I don't think that is going to work.
