How to read description attribute of a project area?

To access to the description field of a project area, instead getSummary() API, did you try getDetails() API provided by the IDescription interface?

Hi Philippe,
I think your answer is about 1st part of my question. I tried it now. But that method is returning an IContent and I do not know how to get Description attribute of a project area from there.
I need the value as a string.

Plus I need the same thing for client side.
thanks,

Hi bariserdemir,

Hope following code snippets help-

ServerSide:

			IContent content = projectArea.getDescription().getDetails();

			ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

			IContentService cs = getService(IContentService.class);//get IContentService

			cs.retrieveContent(content, out);

			String description = new String(out.toByteArray(),content.getCharacterEncoding());

code snippet of ClientSide:

		ByteArrayOutputStream stream= new ByteArrayOutputStream();

//fTeamRepository: client side team repository

//content: project area description details

//monitor: ProgressMonitor for retrieveConent		

fTeamRepository.contentManager().retrieveContent(content, stream, monitor);
