Operation Advisor not recognized on Express-C Tomcat Env


Suresh Krishna (6652) | asked Sep 24 '10, 5:03 a.m.
I am working on an extension similar to the one on wiki (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RTCSDK20_ProcessPreConditionExample)

I did exactly whats mentioned in there. I could see my plugin is ACTIVATED from the OSGI console. However, when i try to debug, the control does not even come to my custom "WorkItemAdvisor" class that implements IOperationAdvisor. I deployed the plugins correctly, removed the tomcat cache and then checked the ss command on ISGi.

However, when i enter the summary string on a workitem as sentence that contains "example" (my criteria), it just saves instead of throwing an error.
More than that, the controls does not even come here. I tried clearing the cache and on IE, FF and Chrome. no luck.

Any help/ideas is appreciated.

I tried the following example by using the update site given there. I could see the plugin is ACTIVE from the tomcat console but when i try to create a workitem with "fail" word.. it simply saves it without any error.

invoked.

To configure your advisor, open a project area editor using the Eclipse
client, go to the Process Configuration tab, and select Team
Configuration then Behavior and then select the Work Item Save row in the
Everyone column.

Yes, you are right on it Jared. It took a while for me to realize that we should let the Project Area know about the new Advisor.
Once i configured the Project Area, it worked just fine. Thanks once again.
