Working copy vs. mutable copy

Gary Mullen-Schultz (287●2●55●36) | asked Mar 25 '10, 11:03 a.m.
I'm struggling to understand the difference between a working copy (ProjectAreaWorkingCopy) of a project, and just having a mutable version of a project (IProcessItemService.getMutableCopy(IProjectArea)).

What can/should I do to one, and what to the other?

Thanks, Gary

ProjectAreaWorkingCopy isn't API so you can't use it.

One of the code snippets (Snippet3.java) out there on Jazz.net to show
how to use the APIs has the following line of code.

IProcessAreaWorkingCopy areaWc =
(IProcessAreaWorkingCopy)service.getWorkingCopyManager
().createPrivateWorkingCopy(teamArea);


This interface shouldn't be API and we have a workitem to remove it:
101050: Remove com.ibm.team.process.client.workingcopies as a "API"
package

The classes in the ...process.client.workingcopies package are intended
for use only by our editors. I'm disappointed to hear that someone posted
a snippet to jazz.net telling people to use this API. Can you please
point me to the URL?

If you want to modify a project area, you should just use a mutable copy.

Sorry - I meant IProcessAreaWorkingCopy.

One of the code snippets (Snippet3.java) out there on Jazz.net to show how to use the APIs has the following line of code.

IProcessAreaWorkingCopy areaWc = (IProcessAreaWorkingCopy)service.getWorkingCopyManager().createPrivateWorkingCopy(teamArea);


Should this be done some other way?

Thanks for your help, Gary

By the way, Jared, the example code snippets I mentioned are packaged up in the Plain Java Client Libraries zip file available from the RTC "All Downloads" page.

Thanks, Gary. I wasn't aware of the snippets in this download. I'll try
to get them fixed up.
