Programaticly appending comments to work items

jmilam (11●1) | asked Jan 19 '09, 4:08 p.m.

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&#40;&#41;;

			ITeamRepository teamRepository= TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService&#40;&#41;.getTeamRepository&#40;repositoryURI&#41;;

			teamRepository.registerLoginHandler&#40;new LoginHandler&#40;userId, password&#41;&#41;;

			teamRepository.login&#40;null&#41;;

			

			IProcessClientService processClient= &#40;IProcessClientService&#41; teamRepository.getClientLibrary&#40;IProcessClientService.class&#41;;

			IWorkItemClient workItemClient= &#40;IWorkItemClient&#41; teamRepository.getClientLibrary&#40;IWorkItemClient.class&#41;;

			

			URI uri= URI.create&#40; &quot;My Project Area&quot;.replaceAll&#40;&quot; &quot;, &quot;%20&quot;&#41; &#41;;

			IProjectArea projectArea= &#40;IProjectArea&#41; processClient.findProcessArea&#40;uri, null, null&#41;;

			if &#40;projectArea == null&#41; &#123;

				System.out.println&#40;&quot;Project area not found.&quot;&#41;;

			&#125;

			

			IWorkItem workingCopy = workItemClient.findWorkItemById&#40;456, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null&#41;;

			System.out.println&#40;&quot;State&#58; &quot; + workingCopy.getState2&#40;&#41;.getStringIdentifier&#40;&#41;&#41;;

			System.out.println&#40;&quot;Resolution&#58; &quot; + workingCopy.getResolution2&#40;&#41;.getStringIdentifier&#40;&#41;&#41;;

			IComments comments= workingCopy.getComments&#40;&#41;;

			System.out.println&#40;&quot;Listing Comments&#58; &quot;&#41;;

			for&#40;IComment c&#58; comments.getContents&#40;&#41; &#41;&#123;

				System.out.println&#40;&quot;  &quot; + c.getHTMLContent&#40;&#41;.getPlainText&#40;&#41;&#41;;

			&#125;

			IComment comment= comments.createComment&#40; teamRepository.loggedInContributor&#40;&#41;,

					XMLString.createFromPlainText&#40; &quot;This is my new commend from the java api&quot;&#41;&#41;;

			comments.append&#40;comment&#41;;

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

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();

Regards,
Hiroki Kondo
