Adding child not working using Java Api


Sudipto Sarkar (631243) | asked Aug 18 '15, 7:20 a.m.
Hi,

 I tried adding parent to a workitem. It worked.But when I go to the parent workitem, I cant see the child. Am I missing something.

Regards,
Sudipto

usually, this problem is because the source (from) and destination(to) workitems are backwards when you create the parent link.

Creating a work item to work item link would look like

	private static class LinkWorkItemOperation extends WorkItemOperation {

		private IWorkItemHandle fOpposite;
		private IEndPointDescriptor fEndpointDescriptor;

		public LinkWorkItemOperation(IEndPointDescriptor endpointDescriptor,
				IWorkItemHandle opposite) {
			super("Linking Work Item", IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE);
			fOpposite = opposite;
			fEndpointDescriptor = endpointDescriptor;
		}

		@Override
		protected void execute(WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy,
				IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException {
			IItemReference reference = IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE
					.createReferenceToItem(fOpposite);
			workingCopy.getReferences().add(fEndpointDescriptor, reference);
		}
	}
Where you would call the operation with
		LinkParentWorkItemOperation operationParent = new LinkWorkItemOperation(
				ILinkTypeRegistry.INSTANCE.getLinkType(
						WorkItemLinkTypes.PARENT_WORK_ITEM)
						.getSourceEndPointDescriptor(), linkdest);
		operationback.run(opposite, monitor);
Opposite and linkdest being the work items.

Hello,

 I couldn't find much help from this. Can you please explain.


Sudipto Sarkar commented Aug 27 '15, 8:23 a.m.

 I am using following code to add parent
            final ILinkManager linkManager = (ILinkManager)repo.getClientLibrary(ILinkManager.class);
  IWorkItem wi=wiClient.findWorkItemById(parentID, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);
      final IReference workItemRef =
          linkManager.referenceFactory().createReferenceToItem(task);
            URI myURI = ItemURI.createWorkItemURI(wiClient.getAuditableCommon(), parentID);
            IReference targetEndpoint = IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceFromURI(myURI);
            final ILink newLink = linkManager.createLink(
                      WorkItemLinkTypes.PARENT_WORK_ITEM, workItemRef,targetEndpoint);
            linkManager.saveLink(newLink, monitor);
    }
