java api, how to get an IInteropManager obj. from repository

here is my code

            ITeamRepository repo = login(sPm);

            // get operations handle to repository

			IInteropManager interop = (IInteropManager) repo.getClientLibrary(IInteropManager.class);



            URI uri = URI.create(IssuePrefix+problemNumber);

            IExternalProxy proxy = createExternalProxy(repo, uri, sPm);

            IExternalState externalState = InteropFactory.INSTANCE.createExternalState();

			ISyncRule sr = ((IInteropManager) repo.getClientLibrary(IInteropManager.class)).findSyncRule(syncrule_name_string,sPm);

			proxy=(IExternalProxy)proxy.getWorkingCopy();

			proxy.setSyncRule(sr);

and the login method gets the repository handle like this

ITeamRepository repository = TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService().getTeamRepository(REPOSITORY_ADDRESS);

where REPOSITORY_ADDRESS = "http://server_url/jazz"

That's great, than you very much. I will give it a try.

Perfect, it works. Thanks.

Sorry, I spoke a little too soon. My code to export out the sync rule is working fine, but the code to import doesn't seem to be working. Here is what I have:

    public static void importSyncRule(ISyncRule syncRule, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException

    {

	// use the ISyncRule.importDefinition method to import the xml definitions for the sync rule

	String inputFile = syncRuleName + ".xml";

	System.out.println("Importing sync rule: " + syncRuleName + " from file " + inputFile);

	try {

	    // get a working copy

	    syncRule = (ISyncRule) syncRule.getWorkingCopy();



	    FileReader input = new FileReader(inputFile);

	

	    syncRule.importDefinition(input);

	    syncRule.save(monitor);

	} catch (FileNotFoundException e3) {

	    System.out.println("Error: " + e3.getMessage());

	    // throw new TeamRepositoryException();

	}

    }

The syncRule.save(monitor) line doesn't compile properly because the ISyncRule class and none of its parent classes implement that method I guess, but I see references to a save() method in some of the documentation, through it is unclear how it applies. If I take out the .save() call, it compiles and runs without any errors, but of course, the changes aren't committed to the repository.

I realize that my code is not the same as yours exactly, mainly because I don't understand what the proxy or uri objects are used for, or even how to properly generate the URI object. Is it not possible to do an inplace update to the sync rule? I thought that was what the .getWorkingCopy method gave me the ability to do, but perhaps not.

To save a working copy of an ISyncRule item, use the saveSyncRule method in the IInteropManager interface.

Thanks John, that worked.
