Programmatically resolving tracks/contributes links does not work

0
Marko Tomljenovic (316●49●109) | asked May 07 '15, 5:40 a.m.
Hi,
I have problems getting linked work items (tracks/contributes) using the Java API. My code roughly looks like this: 

// Resolve all work item references for the given item
IWorkItemReferences iWorkItemReferences = this.workItemClient.resolveWorkItemReferences(currentWorkItem, monitor);
// Find linked items of the given link type -> tracks/contributes
for (IEndPointDescriptor endPtDescriptor : this.linksToFollow) {
  List<IReference> wiReferencesTmp = iWorkItemReferences.getReferences(endPtDescriptor);
  if (wiReferencesTmp != null) {
    outgoingWIReferences.addAll(wiReferencesTmp);
  }
}
for (IReference iReference : outgoingWIReferences) {
  IWorkItem nextWorkItem = null;
  try {
    IWorkItemHandle wiHandle = null;
    Object resolve = iReference.resolve();

I can get all the work item reference objects. But when calling the resolve() method it always returns null.
The reference objects are URI references with this URI  format: https://....com:9443/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/9749

What I found out is that Location.locationFromAbsUri(URI) is called where the ItemHandle in the Location instance is set to null. 

        IItemHandle itemHandle = null;
        IType type = null;
        if (isOidUri(relativeUri)) {
            itemHandle = itemOidUriToHandle(relativeUri);
            type = itemHandle.getItemType();
        }
        if (type == null) {
            type = relativeUriToType(relativeUri);
        }
Any Idea why it does not work?

Using your referenced code helps. It works now.


But shouldn't the resolve() method do the job properly?

Marko,

will the code in this post to turn the URI into a WorkItem handle help?
If you can send me the code to business mail I can look over it, but not before next Monday.

gg,
Arne

Marko,

since you mentioned it works with the referenced code I converted my comment to answer. Could you please mark it as accepted?

Thanks,
Arne
