RTC 5.x - Mail config API
Hi All,
I have written API code to retrieve and update user's mail settings [RTC 5.0, RTC 5.0.2]. It has an issue - it is able to update only the users, for which i perform a manual save via user editor [*Edit any setting, save the user]
For new users, it retrieves existing mail config as null. [*Users which are not saved initially via editor]
Is any user-initialization or other settings required for this API to work? Please advise.
code is as follows:
user = icm.fetchContributorByUserId(userid, null);
contributorWorkingCopy = (IContributor) user.getWorkingCopy();
IContributorDetailsHandle detailsHandle = contributorWorkingCopy.getDetails();
details=(IContributorDetails) iim.fetchPartialItem(detailsHandle, IItemManager.REFRESH, Collections.singleton(IExtensibleItem.ALL_STATE_EXTENSIONS_PROPERTY),null);
details=(IContributorDetails) details.getWorkingCopy();
String mailconfig = details.getLargeStringExtension("com.ibm.team.workitem.mail.Configuration");
For new users, which are not saved once via editor, mail config is retrieved as null. Please share any snippet that you have tried on 5.x or 5.0.x.
Thanks.

See:

Apparently the details are null unless saved by a user.
Another code example.

If you carefully search the SDK, you find this code:

try {
IContributorDetails details = null;
if (detailsHandle == null) {
details = (IContributorDetails) IContributorDetails.ITEM_TYPE.createItem(repository);
monitor.worked(200);
} else {
details = (IContributorDetails) repository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(detailsHandle, IItemManager.DEFAULT, new SubProgressMonitor(monitor, 200));
details = (IContributorDetails) details.getWorkingCopy();
}
The code creates new details, if there are none yet. This is done by this line:
details = (IContributorDetails) IContributorDetails.ITEM_TYPE.createItem(repository);

yes, to help minimize storage consumption, the null value is meant to indicate the defaults should be used. no point consuming a k or more per user to hold the same thing over and over.

Hi Ralph,
IContributorDetailsHandle detailsHandle = contributorWorkingCopy.getDetails();
detailsHandle is not null in my case. It has a value like:
com.ibm.team.repository.common.model.impl.ContributorDetailsHandleImpl@f2a0abc9 (stateId: <unset>, itemId: [UUID _Of0uIrHdEeS2qYoOw5bhsg], origin: com.ibm.team.repository.client.internal.TeamRepository@29087730, immutable: true)
However, mail config is retrieved as null. Please advise.
see my prior comment, save space, null = use defaults
