Accesssing User Information
Is there any information how I can access the username of the current user via my plugin? I didn't see it in any of the component development tutorials...
Thanks, Jamie |

Client or server?
On the client, use ITeamRepository#loggedInContributor(). On the server, extenders of AbstractService can call getAuthenticatedContributor(). - Jared jsamdal wrote: Is there any information how I can access the username of the current |
How do I access the Team Repository that the user is logged into? I tried using TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService(), but using that service getTeamRepositories returned an empty array of repositories. (This was when running my plugin as an eclipse application - is there a different way I need to test this, in order to ensure that Team Concert loads using a repository?)

You can do this in the Team Artifacts view with the context-menu action: New > Jazz Repository Connection. Then fill out the dialog with the details of your repository (including the userid/password). After doing that I would expect that the call to ITeamRepositoryService.getTeamRepositories() will return the ITeamRepository for the connection you just created and ITeamRepository.loggedInContributor() should return the contributor that matches the userid/password you used when setting up the connection. You can also do this stuff programatically as shown in the example here: https://jazz.net/wiki/pub/Main/JazzServerRunAndDebug/JazzLoginTestCase.java However note that this code uses ITeamRepositoryService.getUnmanagedRepository(). The Javadoc explains the details, but to summarize "unmanaged" here means that this repository will *not* be in the list returned by ITeamRepositoryService.getTeamRepositories(). So you could change that code to use getTeamRepository() instead of getUnmanagedRepository() for your scenario. Chris |
When I try to connect to a new repository connection from the 2nd instance of eclipse (the one I'm using to test my plugin):
1) I receive errors if I attempt to connect to ports 9080 (which is the server I am running for my own development use): Connection error: Unknown host: HTTP error 'java.nio.channels.UnresolvedAddressException' accessing http://localhost:9080/jazz/service/com.ibm.team.repository.common/internal.IRepositoryRemoteService 2) I receive errors if I attempt to connect to ports 8080, which is the second server I run with the Jazz Server for JazzTalk: Project areas could not be fetched: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to find type for com.ibm.team.process.ProjectArea. See log for more details. Where is the log that I should be referencing? Do I need to set up a project area somehow on the second server before I can connect? Thanks, Jamie |

When I try to connect to a new repository connection from the 2nd Hi Jamie, I think I understand what's going on with (2), so I'll address that first. The "Jazz Server for JazzTalk" launch is pretty minimal. It does not include the Process component, which is the component responsible for supporting project areas and team areas. I was able to add the process component to the launch and get around this problem by doing the following: First I added these process common/service plugins to the launch: com.ibm.team.process.common com.ibm.team.process.service com.ibm.team.process.definitions.server Second I clicked the "Validate Bundles" button on the launch dialog and it gave me a list of additional bundles that are referenced by these process bundles. Now I iterated, adding bundles and doing "Validate Bundles" until the validate step says "no problems were detected". In the end I had added all of these additional plugins to the launch: com.ibm.team.filesystem.common com.ibm.team.filesystem.common.workitems com.ibm.team.filesystem.service com.ibm.team.filesystem.service.workitems com.ibm.team.scm.common com.ibm.team.scm.service com.ibm.team.foundation.common com.ibm.team.foundation.service com.ibm.team.workitem.common com.ibm.team.workitem.service com.ibm.team.fulltext.common com.ibm.team.fulltext.service org.eclipse.text javax.mail org.eclipse.core.commands com.ibm.icu org.apache.lucene2 Perhaps a faster way would have been to start with the "Typical" launch for 0.6M3 that's attached here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/JazzServerRunAndDebug So you could start with that launch and then just add the JazzTalk plugins to it. (I haven't tried this, but I think it includes all the plugins listed above and maybe a few more.) On problem (1), I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to connect to your development server. Can you give me more details here? What steps are you performing in the UI? Are there exception stacks? I assume you can connect with your normal development client, so I'm not sure what would be different about this case. Chris |
Thanks, I was able to get this working with the Typical launch setup. :) Now I just need to get the server side of my plugin working with the typical launch setup. ;)
Thanks for all your help! Jamie |
