Obtain file given stream and itemID (API)

Question

Given a stream and an itemID uuid, how can I obtain a file item handle efficiently using the API? I know I could always traverse every file in the stream and compare id's but that takes too long to do.

if you have the item (file/versionable) UUID you can get is item handle via (for example)

IItemHandle handle = IComponent.ITEM_TYPE.createHandle(uuid, null);

From your stream, get your IWorkspaceConnection.

Using connection.configuration(IComponentHandle) will get you your configuration based on the component where your file resides.

Then call #fetchCompleteItem on your configuration. Give it the handle that you've obtained with the method Sam described. That will give you a versionable with state that represents the file in the stream. If you get just the handle, it has no state and refers to the item in a general sense.

I think all he has is the file uuid.

how can u find what component that would be in? (in the stream he has)

It's more computation if the component isn't known. The IWorkspaceConfiguration can be retrieved to get all the component configurations in the stream. Then see if #fetchCompleteItem returns anything.

The fetchCompleteItem method expects a IVersionableHandle. IComponent.ITEM_TYPE.createHandle is creating an IItemHandle where itemHandle.isAuditable() is true (IAuditableItemHandle). How do I create one of the type IVersionableHandle?

it was a sample

uuid to ANY type handle is

type.ITEM_TYPE.createHandle(uuid, null);

so
IVersionable.ITEM_TYPE.createHandle(uuid, null);

workitem
IWorkItem.ITEM_TYPE.createHandle(uuid, null);

It's all about the answers!
