Get the Attributes Value for a given WorkItem in Java Plain API

Tiago Fernandez (53●3●16●19) | asked Aug 12 '13, 4:57 p.m.

Hello, I have a simple question for you surely, but since I'm brand new I don't know how to do it.

How to get the value of any attribute of a WorkItem with Plain Java API?

I already have the workitem in my code with:

workItem = workItemClient.findWorkItemById(workItemNumber, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, new SysoutProgressMonitor())

but now I want to show some of its attributes with its values and I don't know how to continue.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply, but as I mentioned at the begining, I am brand new and in that post there are plenty lines of code.

Could you specify a very simple example in a couple a lines on how to get the value of any attibute given a workItem?

Thank you.

I figured out myself, thanks.

Following some examples (they are in Groovy since I am working on that lengauge, similar to Java):

// Getting the workItem
workItem = workItemClient.findWorkItemById(workItemNumber, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, new SysoutProgressMonitor())
println("WorkItem found: ["+workItem.getId()+"] "+workItem.getHTMLSummary().getPlainText())

//Getting the WorkItem Owner
  owner = workItem.getOwner()
  def iContributor = (IContributor) repo.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(owner, IItemManager.DEFAULT, null);
  def owner = iContributor.getName();
  println("Owner is: " + owner)

//Getting the WorkItem Project Area
  def projectArea = workItem.getProjectArea()
  def iProjectArea = (IProjectArea) repo.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(projectArea, IItemManager.DEFAULT, null);
  projectArea = iProjectArea.getName();
  println("Project Area is: " + projectArea)

//Geting the WorkItem State
  IWorkflowInfo info= workItemClient.findWorkflowInfo(workItem, new SysoutProgressMonitor());
  def status = info.getStateName(workItem.getState2());
  println("Status: " + status)

I hear you, but there is no 'simple' few statement example.

the routine that does the attribute work is
<code>
static void printAttributes(IWorkItem workItem,
            IAuditableClient auditableClient, IProjectArea projectArea,
            org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor monitor, ITeamRepository repository, String XML)
    {
    }
</code>
it loops thru all the attributes and handles each one on the fly.

but you will need to have the project area and the AuditableClient library handle.

Yes, there is a simple way, I figured out myself.

It is in the next answer...
