That was a great starter. Here's what ended up working for me - 






try &#123; 

			    	    		 IAttachment newAttachment = service.createAttachment&#40;projectArea, attachmentFile.getName&#40;&#41;, &quot;&quot;, &quot;text&quot;, &quot;UTF-8&quot;, fis, null&#41;; 

			    		         newAttachment = &#40;IAttachment&#41; newAttachment.getWorkingCopy&#40;&#41;; 

			    		         newAttachment = service.saveAttachment&#40;newAttachment, monitor&#41;; 

			    		         linkAttachment&#40;newAttachment, wc.getWorkItem&#40;&#41;&#41;;





.......







private static void linkAttachment&#40;IAttachment source, IWorkItem target&#41;&#123;

    	try&#123;

	    	ILinkManager linkManager= &#40;ILinkManager&#41; repo.getClientLibrary&#40;ILinkManager.class&#41;;

	    	IItemReference sourceRef= IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceToItem&#40;source.getItemHandle&#40;&#41;&#41;;

			IItemReference targetRef= IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceToItem&#40;target.getItemHandle&#40;&#41;&#41;;

			ILink link= ILinkFactory.INSTANCE.createLink&#40;WorkItemLinkTypes.ATTACHMENT, sourceRef, targetRef&#41;;



			

			linkManager.saveLink&#40;link, monitor&#41;;

Hi,

I searched the SDK for WorkItemEndPoints.ATTACHMENT and was able to find the code below. I haven't tested it but it is probably a good starter anyway. 



   private void addJazzAttachment&#40;File attachmentFile, IWorkItemReferences workItemReferences&#41; 

    	throws TeamRepositoryException

    &#123;

    	try &#123;

			

			FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream&#40;attachmentFile&#41;;

			try &#123;

				IAttachment newAttachment =

					workItemClient&#40;&#41;.createAttachment&#40;fProjectArea, 

													  attachmentFile.getName&#40;&#41;, 

													  &quot;&quot;, 

													  &quot;text&quot;, 

													  &quot;UTF-8&quot;, 

													  fis, 

													  null&#41;;

				

				newAttachment = &#40;IAttachment&#41; newAttachment.getWorkingCopy&#40;&#41;;

				newAttachment = workItemClient&#40;&#41;.saveAttachment&#40;newAttachment, null&#41;;

				IItemReference reference = WorkItemLinkTypes.createAttachmentReference&#40;newAttachment&#41;;

				workItemReferences.add&#40;WorkItemEndPoints.ATTACHMENT, reference&#41;; 

			&#125;

			finally &#123;

				if &#40;fis != null&#41; &#123;

					fis.close&#40;&#41;;

					if &#40;attachmentFile != null&#41; &#123;

						attachmentFile.delete&#40;&#41;;

					&#125;

				&#125;

			&#125;

    	&#125;

		catch &#40;Exception e&#41; &#123;

			e.printStackTrace&#40;&#41;;

			throw new TeamRepositoryException&#40;e&#41;;

		&#125;

    &#125;


Thanks,

Ralph

Hi Susan,

I am still stalled on this one.

Of course it is possible to link to a URL like File://.......

But for a real attachment, I figure the file needs to be uploaded and attached to a work item. I have not found the API for uploading yet. I think that is the key.

Ralph

I haven't done this specifically for an attachment, but perhaps something like:

IURIReference ref = ReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceFromURI(file.getURI()); workingCopy.getReferences().add(WorkItemEndPoints.ATTACHMENT);

where file is the file instance?

Susan

Hi, I am

Working on that myself right now. Here is what I found searching this forum:

Sorry have not had time to code yet.

Hi

Thanks for the response.

Actually I need to create and add the attachment to the workitem and not a work item references from parent to child or child to parent.

If you have any information on this , could you please share that.
