I'm sure this is really easy, but for the life of me, I can't get it to work.

I am in a Server-side participant for a WorkItemSave and I just need to set the value of the Priority built-in attribute.

I have the workingCOpy, and I can do workingCopy.setPriority(iPriorityIdentifier); and then _service.saveWorkItem3();

but the setPriority takes an Identifier<IPriority> which I am struggling to get.  
Anybody have a snippet they can help me with?

well, the priority is an enum, enums have ILiterals and these have identifiers.
from my dump workitem utility

// this will throw exception if not enumeration
                            IEnumeration<ILiteral> enumeration = (IEnumeration<ILiteral>) workItemCommon
                                    .resolveEnumeration(ia, monitor);
                            if (enumeration != null)
                            {
                                String[] iaval = ia
                                        .getValue(auditableClient, workItem,
                                                monitor).toString().split(":");
                                if (iaval.length > 1 && iaval[1] != null)
                                {
                                    List<ILiteral> enumerationLiterals = enumeration
                                            .getEnumerationLiterals();
                                    for (ILiteral literal : enumerationLiterals)
                                    {
                                       Identifier i=literal.getIdentifier2();  <------
                                        if (literal.getIdentifier2()
                                                .getStringIdentifier()
                                                .equalsIgnoreCase(iaval[1]))
                                        {

Right, I have almost all of that already, but am missing the IAttributeHandle for Priority to pass in. private Identifier getLiteralEqualsString(String name, IAttributeHandle ia) throws TeamRepositoryException {   IWorkItemServer wiService = (IWorkItemServer) getService(IWorkItemServer.class);   Identifier literalID = null;   IEnumeration en = wiService.resolveEnumeration(ia, null);   List literals = en.getEnumerationLiterals();         for (Iterator iter = literals.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {             ILiteral iLiteral = (ILiteral) itor.next();             if (iLiteral.getName().equals(name)) {                 literalID = iLiteral.getIdentifier2();                 break;             }         }         return literalID;     }

nevermind .. duh IAttribute prioAttr = _service.findAttribute(workItem.getProjectArea(), IWorkItem.PRIORITY_PROPERTY, null); All is working now!
