JavaPlainApi get workItem references from workItemCopy is always null


Fran Burgos (12312151) | asked Oct 18 '17, 8:48 a.m.

I'm developing a RTC Client with the Java Plain API 4.0.1. The client gets a WorkItem by Id and then it uses a WorkItemOperation for getting the current references and performing some modifications but the workitem references are always null although I can see the WI has links to other WIs on the web browser. ¿What else is needed for getting de references?

private static class WorkItemReferencesModification extends WorkItemOperation {

private IWorkItemHandle fOpposite;

public WorkItemReferencesModification() {
    super("Modifying Work Item References",IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE);
}

@Override
protected void execute(WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException {
    IEndPointDescriptor endpoint = ILinkTypeRegistry.INSTANCE.getLinkType(WorkItemLinkTypes2.CUSTOM_LINK).getTargetEndPointDescriptor();
    workingCopy.getReferences().getReferences(endpoint); // THIS IS ALWAYS NULL!!!
}&nbsp;</pre>

Hi Ralph, actually I read both articles and on other RTC 5.0.2 I have a client where this works right. But on this RTC 4.0.1 references come empty. I used your method analyzeReferences(IWorkItemReferences references) but on List endpoints = references.getTypes(); does not return any type.

In addition I tried force resolving references from WorkItem getting from WorkItemCopy with:


IWorkItemCommon common= (IWorkItemCommon) ((ITeamRepository)workItem.getOrigin()).getClientLibrary(IWorkItemCommon.class);
IWorkItemReferences references = common.resolveWorkItemReferences(workItem, null);
    
Maybe if I use IQueryResult the references could come resolved.
