Thanks in advance!
Obviously you would retrieve all the approvals and then have to go through these. As far as I can tell, the only information you can use to compare are type and name.

Some example code:
/** * Tries to find a an approval from the approval data and deletes it if it * can be found Removes only the first instance found that matches. * * @param approvalData * @return */ private boolean updateRemoveApproval(ApprovalInputData approvalData) { IApprovals approvals = getWorkItem().getApprovals(); List<IApproval> approvalContent = approvals.getContents(); for (IApproval anApproval : approvalContent) { IApprovalDescriptor descriptor = anApproval.getDescriptor(); if (descriptor.getTypeIdentifier().equals( approvalData.getApprovalType()) && descriptor.getName().equals( approvalData.getApprovalName())) { approvals.remove(anApproval); approvals.remove(descriptor); return true; } } return false; } Comments I have used the similar code as mentioned above. I wanted to eliminate the loops and make a quick search using java comparator.That is the reason i created an approval object and set its name and type to proper values and then used java 's comparator function to search the particular object.Comparator function required the attributes to compare.Therefore when tried to fetch the approval's name using :

I think something similar is in the links: Please see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/10/01/adding-approvals-to-work-items-using-the-plain-java-client-libraries/ or https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/a-create-approval-work-item-save-participant/ That I provided above already. IApprovalDescriptor descriptor = approvals.createDescriptor( WorkItemApprovals.REVIEW_TYPE.getIdentifier(), fApprovalName); for (IContributorHandle reviewer : reviewers) { IApproval approval = approvals.createApproval(descriptor, reviewer); approvals.add(approval); } |
