Setting associated team area for category

m sawires (146●2●26●8) | asked Mar 22 '10, 5:15 p.m.

Hello,
I need to create programmatically a workitem with a new category and assign a team area to that category.
I can create the workitem and the category fine but there is no setters for assigning team areas. There are only getters:

category.getDefaultTeamArea&#40;&#41;; 

category.getAssociatedTeamAreas&#40;&#41;;

How can I set the team area to the category?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The API to associate categories with team areas is internal.

If you need it anyway, cast the ICategory to the internal Category
interface and use e.g. category.setDefaultTeamArea(...).

Thanks for the reply -
However I can only set the default team area and not the associated ones using the class Category and when I do the following I get an exception upon save:

internalCategory.setDefaultTeamArea&#40;defaultTeamArea&#41;;		            	

getWorkItemCommon&#40;&#41;.saveCategory&#40;category, monitor&#41;;

Exception:
com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException: Default team area not in team area list

It seems that the default team has to be in the team area list first.
Thanks

You can set the associated ones using:
((Category) category).getTeamAreas().add(teamArea);
