Below is how I currently do it. I am positive there is a better way but I haven't figured it out yet. Hopefully someone from the Jazz team will respond. 






public synchronized void changeWorkItemState(int workItemId,

			String stateName, IProgressMonitor monitor)

			throws TeamRepositoryException {

		log.debug("changeWorkItemState");



		IWorkItem workItem = findWorkItemById(workItemId, monitor);



		IWorkflowInfo workflowInfo = workItemServer.findWorkflowInfo(workItem,

				monitor);



		Identifier<IState>[] states = workflowInfo.getAllStateIds();



		// get working copy

		IWorkItem workingCopy = (IWorkItem) workItem.getWorkingCopy();



		

		//there has to be a better way

		for (int i = 0; i < states.length; i++) {

			if (stateName.equals(workflowInfo.getStateName(states[i]))) {

				workingCopy.setState2(states[i]);

				break;

			}

		}



		workItemServer.saveWorkItem2(workingCopy, null, null);



	}

Hi
The correct way to do a workflow transition is to use an action. The IWorkflowInfo has a method 'getResolveActionId' that return the id of the action that is configured in the process spec to be the 'Resolve Action'.

If you however want the work item to be in a specific well-known state (e.g. state 'Closed'), you have to find a valid action leading from the current state of the work item to the desired one.

If you have the action ID, you can then use
WorkItemServer#saveWorkItem(IWorkItem workItem, String workflowAction)

If you have the action ID, you can then use
WorkItemServer#saveWorkItem(IWorkItem workItem, String workflowAction)


Hi, I have notice that saveWorkItem is depracated, and saveWorkItem2 have to be used instead. But this new method require a WorkItemReference object. What is it using for?

Hi
WorkItemReferences are a wrapper around repository links. If you do not modify links from or to the work item, you can simply pass in 'null'.

So, if I add or modify some links, can I retrieve WorkItemReferences using IWorkItemCommon.resolveWorkItemReferences from my WorkItem copy and then use it on saveWorkItem2 method togheter with WorkItem instance?
