ItemNotFoundException when trying to compute a file path (the request item is absent from configuration)

Question

Hi I am using RTC Enterprise version 6.0.4 . I am trying to fetch full file paths of all the files in a changeset in this way :

IVersionableHandle filePathHandle = versionableHandle;
currentItem = versionableManager.fetchCompleteState(versionableHandle, monitor);
try {
 while (filePathHandle != null) {
   final String name = currentItem.getName();
   if (name != null & name.length() > 0) {
     filePath = name + File.separator + filePath;
   }
   filePathHandle = currentItem.getParent();
   if (filePathHandle != null) {
     //You have to switch from verManager.fetchCompleteState(versionableHandle, monitor) to
     // iconfig.fetchCompleteItem (versionableHandle, monitor) to avoid null state for folders.
      log.debug("To get the filePath for File:" + currentItem.getName() + " FilePath: " + filePath);
     currentItem = iConfig.fetchCompleteItem(filePathHandle, monitor);
   }
 }
 if (!filePath.isEmpty() && (versionableHandle instanceof IFileItemHandle)) {
   workingFileName = filePath.substring(0, filePath.length() - 1);
 }

I have seen mutliple links to fetch the full file path :

My code works well with file paths. I can retrieve file paths even in case of Rename/Move/ADD/DELETE. But for some of the fileItems I am getting this error:

com.ibm.team.repository.common.ItemNotFoundException: The request item is absent from configuration

at com.ibm.team.scm.client.internal.ConnectionBasedClientConfigurationProxy.fetch(ConnectionBasedClientConfigurationProxy.java:401)

at com.ibm.team.scm.client.internal.ConnectionBasedClientConfigurationProxy.fetchCompleteItem(ConnectionBasedClientConfigurationProxy.java:591)

I am not sure what is causing this .

I am retrieving IConfiguration object like this:

IComponentHandle componentHandle = changeset.getComponent();
IConfiguration iConfig = workspaceConnection.configuration(componentHandle);

Can you please point me out why for some of the filePaths I am getting temNotFoundException.

OR if there is any alternate solution to get the full file path if I don't use the IConfiguration iConfig object?

First I am fetching the WorkSpaceConnection which contains this changeset:

workspaceManager.findWorkspacesContainingChangeset(changeSet, wsc, Integer.MAX_VALUE, monitor);
</pre>

and then I am get the IConfig Object like this :

IConfiguration iConfig = workspaceConnection.configuration(componentHandle);
    </pre>
    <pre style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Menlo; font-size: 9pt;">

I can even get the fileName using : IVersionable.getName() .. but problem is while retrieving full file path. 
    </pre>
    <pre style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Menlo; font-size: 9pt;">

Any use-case when this fileItem won't be present in IConfig ?
    </pre>
    <pre style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Menlo; font-size: 9pt;">

Because as per my understanding if this changeset is present in workSpace means it should be present in IConfig as well ?

I think this happens for files/folders that are deleted. It is true that the files (versionables) exist in a previous change set in history, but if the file itself, and all it's parent folders have been deleted, then in the 'current' configuration of the workspace the file and the parent folder will not exist, and thus there is no valid/known path for that versionable in the workspace you are using.

It's all about the answers!
