Creating new WorkItems Server Side

Jason Marston (21●1●1) | asked Apr 28 '09, 2:01 p.m.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if IWorkItemServer.createWorkItem2 is the only method of creating a new WorkItem on the server.

By that I mean without the eclipse client.

I have worked through some of the examples and have working services etc, but the support for creating WorkItems without resorting to Client interfaces seems limited (unless I am missing something)

I guess I am asking.

Is this the right way to go about server side creation of work items?


IProcessServerService processServerService = ...

IWorkItemServer workItemServer = ...



try &#123;

  IProjectArea projectArea = &#40;IProjectArea&#41;processServerService.findProcessArea&#40;&quot;&lt;MyProjectAreaName&gt;&quot;, null&#41;;

  IWorkItemType workItemType = workItemServer.findCachedWorkItemType&#40;projectArea, &quot;&lt;MyWorkItemType&gt;&quot;&#41;;

  IWorkItem workItem = workItemServer.createWorkItem2&#40;workItemType&#41;;



  // begin setting up various attributes

    ...

  // end setting up varous attributes



  IStatus status = workItemServer.saveWorkItem2&#40;workItem, null, null&#41;;

&#125; catch &#40;TeamRepositoryException e&#41; &#123;

  e.printStackTrace&#40;&#41;;

&#125;
