Create new work item server side (Java)
I need to create a new work item with my java extension on the server side. I found a few examples with the client api but I can't seem to find out how it works with the server side java api.
I found a method createWorkItem but I need to give it a work item type. From the work item type I have the id but not the object
So I don't know how to get the work item type object
and if the method I found is indeed the correct one to use
Can anyone help?

Accepted answer
Use the IFindWorkItemType method of your IWorkItemServer. Example:
IWorkItemType myType = wiService.findWorkItemType(myProjectArea, "myCustomTypeID", monitor);
IWorkItem myNewWorkItem = wiService.createWorkItem2(myType);
Here's the JavaDoc for the findWorkItemType method:
IWorkItemType com.ibm.team.workitem.common.IWorkItemCommon.findWorkItemType(IProjectAreaHandle projectArea, String identifier, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException
Returns the work item type with the given identifier in the given project area or
null
if no type with this identifier is configured in the process configuration.
- Parameters:
- projectArea the project area
- identifier the type identifier
-
monitor a progress monitor or
null - Returns:
-
the work item type or
null - Throws:
- TeamRepositoryException - if anything goes wrong

Hi,
to create a work item you need to use the IWorkItemServer.createWorkItem2 method. Once created you can use the different setters to set the value you want. Eventually you need to save it using IWorkItemServer.saveWorkItem2 method.
An example where I also set a child link:

An example where I also set a child link:
IWorkItemType wiType = wiService.findWorkItemType(myProjectArea, "task", monitor);
IWorkItem task = wiService.createWorkItem2(wiType);
task.setHTMLSummary(XMLString.createFromPlainText("Child Task of " + wi.getHTMLSummary().getPlainText()));
IAttribute plannedForAttribute = wiService.findAttribute(wi.getProjectArea(), WorkItemAttributes.PLANNED_FOR, null);
task.setValue(plannedForAttribute, wi.getValue(plannedForAttribute));
IWorkItemReferences references = wiService.resolveWorkItemReferences(task, null);
IReference workPackageReference = IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceToItem(wi);
references.add(WorkItemEndPoints.PARENT_WORK_ITEM, workPackageReference);
IStatus status = wiService.saveWorkItem2(task, references, null);
if(status.isOK()){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
Best regards,
Michele.
