How to get IQueryDescriptor from query UUID (via plain Java API)


Guenther Jornitz (5410) | asked Dec 02 '14, 6:21 a.m.
I know that I can use the calls findSharedQueries or findPersonalQueries from the IQueryClient class from native Java API to search for a workitem query by name and use the resulting IQueryDescriptor for executing the query..
Is there a way I can directly access a query based on the knowledge of the UUID, i.e. the string seen in the WebClient if executing a query?

you can get the handle to an object from its UUID

IItemHandle handle = itype.ITEM_TYPE.createHandle(UUID.valueOf(uuid_string), null);

itype = IQueryDescriptor or IWorkItem or ...

once you have the handle, you can use one of the item manager methods to get the object.
