Persistable handles for various items
Hello,
One of our requirements is that we record which stream, component,
baseline an eclipse project is coming from, and record it for later use.
Later use being that we could reconnect back to the stream, create
branches etc. from the recorded information.
Though the streams, components, baselines have IDs, UIDs, etc., there
seems to be no easy way to retrieve information about a stream,
component, baseline except by using their names.
Ex: IWorkspaceManager.findAllWorkspaces(IAuditableHandle scopeHandle,
String namePattern, IProgressMonitor progressMonitor)
Since names are changeable for streams, components, it does not seem to
be a good reference that we can persist and later reuse.
Is there a better way to ID streams, components, baselines without using
names, and if so how could one query the server for information about
them so that the client could reconnect.
Regards,
Sri.

This isn't a problem to find without having to search the repository, try the following (written from memory but is close to what you want)
IWorkspaceManager wm = SCMPlatform.getWorkspaceManager(repository);
IWorkspaceHandle workspaceHandle = IWorkspace.ITEM_TYPE.create(repository, workspaceUUID, null);
IWorkspaceConnection connection = wm.getWorkspaceConnection(workspaceHandle, monitor);
connection.getComponents();
IWorkspaceManager wm = SCMPlatform.getWorkspaceManager(repository);
IWorkspaceHandle workspaceHandle = IWorkspace.ITEM_TYPE.create(repository, workspaceUUID, null);
IWorkspaceConnection connection = wm.getWorkspaceConnection(workspaceHandle, monitor);
connection.getComponents();
