How to detect whether I have access to a work item through JAVA API

Hi All,
I am trying to get a work item by id by using the method findWorkItemById(almId, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor).

The work item exists under the repository that I am connected to but I do not have access to that project area/not part of that team.

So when I call the above method it returns me null.

In the web client it returns me this :

Error!
No permission to access the item.


I have 2 open questions.

1. How can I still retrieve this work item through JAVA API ? All I have with me is server details and work item id.
2. If I cannot, How can I at least detect that I do not have access to that work item through JAVA API?


Thanks for any help :)
