Hi,

Is there a way to get the URL of an IWorkItem object? The URL that takes user directly to the details of the work item.

Many thanks.

don't understand.. the URL of the workitem would open the UI if used in a browser. and the UI lands on the overview page  what are u looking to do?  sorry, maybe misunderstood the words.. in Eclipse, click the dropdown next to the workitem number and select copy URL in the web, just copy the URL in the browser window

I found the class com.ibm.team.repository.common.Location in the RTC API, which avoids hard-coding URI fragments. For example: 
String workitemURL = Location.namedLocation(workitem, getPublicRepositoryURL()).toAbsoluteUri().toString();

I'm looking for a way to get the URI programmatically for any IWorkItem instance, not through the UI for a specific workitem.

ok, well, the model is server + "/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/" + number you can get server from the repository object. repository.getRepositoryURI(); most objects have a getOrigin() method that returns the repository object
