Programaticly appending comments to work items

Hi jmilam,

Now I got an answer about this!I suffer from same thing.

IWorkItem workingCopy =
workItemClient.findWorkItemById(456,IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null);

You got *Immutable* WorkItem at this line.
If you momdify workitem, you get WorkingCopy from WorkItem.
WorkingCopy has same interface from that Object.so I'll show you the statements.

IWorkItem workitem = workItemClient.findWorkItemById(456,IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE,
null);
IWorkItem workingCopy = (IWorkItem)workitem.getWorkingCopy();

I've been using the Plain-Java API to fetch work items from an RTC
team area. I then try to append a comment to the work item. When
doing so a
com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.ImmutablePropertyException is
thrown.

I followed the example here to connect to the repository
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticWorkItemCreation#Plain_Java_Client
and the comments here
https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2959&highlight=api+comments
to try and append a comment.

Below is the relevant code snippet:

TeamPlatform.startup();
ITeamRepository teamRepository=
TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService().getTeamRepository(repositoryURI);
teamRepository.registerLoginHandler(new
LoginHandler(userId, password));
teamRepository.login(null);

IProcessClientService processClient=
(IProcessClientService)
teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IProcessClientService.class);
IWorkItemClient workItemClient= (IWorkItemClient)
teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

URI uri= URI.create( "My Project
Area".replaceAll(" ", "%20") );
IProjectArea projectArea= (IProjectArea)
processClient.findProcessArea(uri, null, null);
if (projectArea == null) {
System.out.println("Project area not found.");
}

IWorkItem workingCopy = workItemClient.findWorkItemById(456,
IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null);
System.out.println("State: " +
workingCopy.getState2().getStringIdentifier());
System.out.println("Resolution: " +
workingCopy.getResolution2().getStringIdentifier());
IComments comments= workingCopy.getComments();
System.out.println("Listing Comments: ");
for(IComment c: comments.getContents() ){
System.out.println(" " +
c.getHTMLContent().getPlainText());
}
IComment comment= comments.createComment(
teamRepository.loggedInContributor(),
XMLString.createFromPlainText( "This is my new commend
from the java api"));
comments.append(comment);


Any ideas as to why I'm unable to modify the work item?

The Wiki page
https://jazz.net:443/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticWorkItemCreation

also has some examples of how to create work items in a plain Java context.
