How can I save a work item?

How can I save a work item if I only have the IWorkItem object?

What I want to do is I want to save the work item after I append
comments to the work item. Here is how I append the comments:
(workitem is an IWorkItem object)

IComments comments = workitem.getComments();
IComment c = comments.createComment(
repo.loggedInContributor(),
XMLString.createFromPlainText("test"));
comments.append(c);

So now, how can I save the workitem?

In general, you would do this to create a new work item:

IWorkItemWorkingCopyManager workingCopyManager=
workItemClient.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager();
IWorkItemHandle handle= workingCopyManager.connectNew(fgDefectType,
null);
WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy=
workingCopyManager.getWorkingCopy(handle);

workingCopy.getWorkItem().setHTMLSummary(XMLString.createFromPlainText(getName()));
workingCopy.save(null);

If you have an existing item, use connect(handle) instead of
connectNew(type) on the working copy manager.

Hi,

Are you doing this on the server side, or client side? There are different ways of doing it at either end.

Thanks,

Simon

To answer the previous question, I'm doing this on the client side.
